Leaf of Ballota nigra eaten by three larvae
The wingspan is 13–16 millimetres (0.51–0.63 in). Adults have bronzy forewings with a central purplish fascia. Males have long silvery-white antennae, while females have shorter, blackish antennae with white tips. They are on wing in July.[3]
The larvae feed on Ballota nigra. They first feed on the seeds. Later, they feed from within a case made from plant fragments.
