Adults are usually on wing in May in one generation, but there might be a second generation depending on the location.
The larvae feed on Ulmus glabra , Ulmus laevis , Ulmus minor and Ulmus pumila . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a slender corridor. In the first segment, the frass is concentrated in a narrow central line. The frass pattern in the later segment is very variable, ranging from a narrow central line to broadly dispersed or even coiled. [3]
