These moths
can be recognised by their resting posture when settled, as they
sit head down with their hindlegs tucked along their abdomen. They
have a tumbling flight around their foodplant on warm days.
The larva
typically feeds within a shoot, overwinters while small, then
resumes feeding in the spring before pupation in late spring or
early summer.
