The wingspan is 14–16 mm.[3] The forewings are coppery red with two transverse grey bands. There is one generation per year.
The larvae feed on Pinus species, mainly Pinus strobus and Pinus sylvestris. First instar larvae enter shoots behind needle fascicles, boring directly into the pith. They initially feed downward toward the base of the shoots but later reverse direction. The frass is deposited on either end of the tunnel. Pupation takes place in a silken cocoon on the ground.[4]

gollark: This is too unambiguous.
gollark: Rename it `rec-room`.
gollark: Eventually all the weird arbitrary Python syntax extensions will make it the ultimate golfing language.
gollark: It didn't get closer and closer. It spread out enough that energy levels were low enough for that stuff to happen.
