The larvae feed on Convolvulus species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. Young larvae create several small irregular, full depth blotch mines. Older larvae live in a dirt-covered silken tube that stretches from the ground up to a leaf. They mine the leaf from within this tube. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[3] Larvae can be found in September.
