The wingspan is 26–29 millimetres (1.0–1.1 in). Adults have a greyish forewing with an angled darker marking just inside the cleft. Adults are on wing in July and August in western, central and northeastern Europe. The larvae feed on Pulicaria dysenterica and Inula conyza. They initially feed in the shoots, but later they feed on the leaves. Occasionally the larvae are found feeding on fleabane as well, while adults rarely prefer it. |
