The wingspan is 13–14 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from June to early August in one generation per year.
The larvae feed on the flowers and seeds of water dock (Rumex hydrolapathum). They create a reddish-brown, tubular case made entirely of silk. Full-grown larvae attach their case to the stem of the food plant and hibernate.[3]
