The larvae feed on Halothamnus subaphyllus. They create a leafy case, consisting of one or two and rarely three sections. The valve is threesided and formed at the end of development. The length of the case is 16–20 mm and it is chocolate-brown to yellow in color with one to three dark stripes. Larvae can be found from May to June. Fully fed larvae hibernate. [1]
