The larvae feed on various Asteraceae species, including Helichrysum serotinum, Helichrysum angustifolium, Helichrysum stoechas and Phagnalon species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a blotch inside of the mine covered with silk. Pupation takes place within the mine, without a recognisable cocoon.
