The wingspan is 10–14 millimetres (0.39–0.55 in). Adults are on wing from May to August in one generation per year.
The larvae feed on a wide range of plants, including Artemisia campestris, Matricaria, Aster, Anthemis, Solidago, Chrysanthemum, Alchemilla, Helichrysum and Tanacetum species.[5] The larvae have been recorded feeding on the flowers and seeds of their host plant, but may also live in the stems and shoots, feeding on the pith.[6]
