The wingspan is about 9–10 mm. Adults are on wing from July to August.
The larvae feed on Rhamnus frangula and Rhamnus cathartica. They feed from within a slight spinning either in the flowers or the terminal shoots.[2] Sometimes, also young leaves are eaten. Pupation takes place in a pale yellow cocoon near the ground, sometimes between leaves. Larvae can be found from the beginning of May to June.[3]
