Adults are on wing from the end of June and from the beginning to the end of August. Larvae of the autumn generation spin a cocoon at the beginning of November and hibernate.

The mine has the form of an orthogenous upper surface blotch mine. It is pale greenish-brown  with a central brown patch. Pupation takes place outside of the mine in a shining white cocoon, which can be found on the surface of a leaf or a twig. The spindle-shaped cocoon is covered by a H-shaped silken roof, but the cocoon spun on the twig has no silken roof.
