Description
The wingspan is 8–10 millimetres (0.31–0.39 in).[1] Adults are on wing from April to June and from July to September. There are two generations per year.
The larvae feed on creeping bent (Agrostis stolonifera), false oat-grass (Arrhenatherum elatius), Avenula pubescens, tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia cespitosa), fescue (Festuca species), creeping soft grass (Holcus mollis) and meadow-grass (Poa). They mine the leaves of their host. The pupation takes place outside the mine.[2]
Distribution
It is found from Fennoscandia and northern Russia to the Pyrenees, Italy and Romania and from Ireland to central Russia.[2]

gollark: Just manually disassemble the relevant clouds or something.
gollark: Of course not. They simply never had any rain beforehand.
gollark: This could be the basis for a whole new political compass.
