The larvae feed on Salix purpurea. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a long corridor along the midrib of the leaf. The frass line is often interrupted and leaves a clear zone at either side. The mine develops into a broad elongate blotch that in narrow leaves may occupy half of the leaf.
