The wingspan is 13–17 mm. [3] Adults are on wing from June to September.

The larvae feed on Rumex acetosella . They initially mine the leaves of their host plant. Young larvae make an irregular blotch in the young leaves. Older larvae live freely in a spinning at the base of the stem and the root crown. [4] Larvae can be found from August to May of the following year. They are chocolate brown with a black head. The species overwinters in the larval stage.
