The wingspan is 13–18 mm. Adults are on wing from July to August and again from September to May of the following year after hibernation.[2]
The larvae feed on rosebay willowherb (Chamaenerion angustifolium). The larvae feed inside the stem of their host plant, usually in the flowering part. Feeding causes a gall to be formed. Larvae of the second generation usually live in a seedpod. Larvae of the first generation are found from May to June and larvae of the second generation are found from July to August.[2][3]
