The larvae feed on Aster alpinus, Aster amellus, Aster linosyris and Aster salignus. They create a greyish brown tubular silken case with a mouth angle of 20-45°. The larva mines in the lower leaves. After the case has been tightened to the leaf, the larva leaves the case and makes a long corridor mine.[2] Larvae can be found from September to May. After hibernation, the larvae do not feed.
