Larva

Larval case

The wingspan is 13-16 mm.^[2]

The larvae feed on Betula, Carpinus betulus, Corylus avellana, Fagus sylvatica, Malus, Prunus cerasus, Prunus spinosa, Pyrus communis, Quercus petraea, Quercus robur, Quercus rubra, Salix and Sorbus aucuparia. Full-grown larva live in a dull black pistol case of about 9 mm and with a mouth angle of 80-90° (meaning it stands erect on the leaf). After hibernation, the larvae no longer mine, but rather cause skeleton feeding.^[3] Full-grown larvae can be found in early June.
