Idia occidentalis was formerly considered a subspecies of Idia lubricalis.
The wingspan is 24–36 mm. Adults are on wing from May to September. There are multiple generations per year in the south.
The larvae feed on various fungi and lichens. They probably feed on other organic matter like rotting wood and grass on forest floor as well.

gollark: Having to go from the lobby to TC2020 is very annoying.
gollark: That too. It's all lit with glowstone nanoparticles.
gollark: Meanwhile, my bunker- has a forcefield entirely protecting it- has no hidden cable ducts or places to hide- ... probably can be teleported into, I haven't made any defense against that- does not really have one ultra-vulnerable point- can craft many components of itself
gollark: - There are invulnerable forcefields on some bits, but you can just dig around them- There are endless hidden cable ducts and Contingency Theta tunnels in it, so people can sneak through- You can teleport in basically everywhere- If someone gets into the control room with its unlabelled button panel, they can deploy lava, disable the generators, enable forcefields and whatnot, and there's no password or anything- There's no equipment in it which lets it replace damaged bits
gollark: Er, still is.
