The larvae feed on Achillea millefolium, Artemisia alpina and Artemisia umbelliformis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a narrow corridor following the leaf margin, with a broad, continuous frass line. Older larvae live freely on the leaf, creating small round fleck mines. Larvae can be found in June.[2]
