The larvae feed on Halothamnus subaphyllus and rarely on Halothamnus glaucus. They create a leafy case, consisting of three obliquely imbricate (overlapping) pieces, the margins of which may more or less protrude downward. The initial case has the form of a slender tube and is located on the upper side at the caudal end. The valve is poorly developed. The length of the case is 6–7.5 mm (0.24–0.30 in) and the color is chocolate-brown to yellow. Larvae can be found from May to the beginning of October. There are up to three generations per year. Fully fed larvae hibernate.[1]
