Biology: The white to orange-red larvae attack the bursting shoots of Tilia spp. ( Malvaceae ). Our records are from T. x europaea. Usually, the soft shoots that grow from the root or from the lower part of the stem are preferred. The unfolding leaves become crumpled, and the larvae live in the creases. Bivoltine; pupation and hibernation in the soil.

Distribution: Widespread in Europe including Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
