The larvae feed on broom (Cytisus scoparius), black broom (Lembotropis nigricans), aluaga (Genista scorpius), dyer's greenweed (Genista tinctoria), Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) and gorse Ulex europaeus. They create a very untidy, bivalved lobe case of 7–8 mm. The mouth angle is 90°.[3] Full-grown larvae can be found in June.
