Biology
The larvae feed on various spruce tree species. They only feed on dead needles. They are green with a dark brown head.[5] The species overwinters in the larval stage in constructed nests made up of live and dead spruce needles. Pupation occurs from late May to early June in a green pupa in a grey cocoon.
Adults are on wing from mid-June to early July in one generation per year.
