The wingspan is 6.5–9 mm. Adults are on wing in May and August in two generations.

The larvae feed on Norway maple ( Acer platanoides ), mining the leaves of their host plant. They create a fairly large and rounded mine on the underside of a leaf, between two veins but not necessarily touching both and sometimes situated at the leaf edge. The lower epidermis appears smooth or has several small creases and becomes whitish. There may be several mines in a single leaf. [1] [2]

The firethorn leaf miner is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is native to southern Europe and was probably introduced accidentally into several countries in western Europe on transported plant material. It has now been recorded as far north as Finland and east to Hungary. It was first recorded in Great Britain in 1989. Nash et al. (1995) studied the spread of this species in Great Britain. Besides the "natural" spread of the insect, they found several foci of colonization outside the main distribution range that were undoubtedly due to human activities.
