Larva

The wingspan is 6–8 mm. There are two generations per year with adults on wing in May and again in August. [2]

The larvae feed on Ulmus glabra , Ulmus laevis , Ulmus minor and Ulmus pumila . They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a short, roundish to oval, somewhat inflated, lower surface tentiform mine, often crossing a lateral vein. The epidermis has several lengthwise folds. Pupation takes place in a tough, greenish cocoon which lies freely in the mine. [3]
