It is found in boreal forest, especially bogs, and is both diurnal and nocturnal.
Early instar larvae prefer to feed on the epidermis of leaves of Vaccinium vitis-idaea, but is polyphagous when reared. In Scandinavia the larva overwinters twice. In Minnesota this species occurs in raised bogs with Vaccinium vitis-idaea suggesting that this is the foodplant in North America.

gollark: In what way?
gollark: Or, I guess, giving them access to a shared folder (via syncthing or ??? rsync) to submit tracks.
gollark: The best I could do for OIR:EM delegation is having people forward songs to me for review, but I might just forget to.
