The wingspan is 14–18 mm. It is a very variable species. Some forms are very similar to Acleris notana and the two can only separated by examination of the genitalia. Adults are on wing in July and again in September and October. The second generation overwinters and reappears in spring.[5]

The larvae feed on Quercus species. They feed from within a spinning between the leaves of their host plant.
