The larvae feed on Betula pubescens. They feed only on seedlings of less than 50 mm (2.0 in) high. They create a bivalved lobe case. The front end is very broad and the rear end strongly narrowed and curved downwards. The length is 7–7.5 mm (0.28–0.30 in) and the mouth angle is about 30°.[4] Larvae can be found from September to May.
