The wingspan is 8–10 mm.[4] The forewings are dull greyish bronze, tinged with fuscous and the hindwings are dark grey.[5]
Ova, are probably laid on the seeds of ground-elder (Aegopodium podagraria), angelica (Angelica sylvestris), wild carrot (Daucus carota) and burnet-saxifrage (Pimpinella saxifraga).[6] The larvae feed within the seeds, spinning two or three together during September and October. Feeding is inconspicuous, but larvae can sometimes be seen on the outside of seeds.[3] The species overwinters in the pupal stage within a flimsy cocoon on the ground.[7][3]
