The wingspan is about 33 mm. Adults are on wing from December to February in Israel.
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Vitis species, Ficus carica, Ficus pseudosycramorus, Acacia arabica, Cercis siliquastrum and Crataegus species.[2] Young larvae feed under loose bark, penetrating the wood through dried stubs of pruned canes. They create galleries along the axes of stems and branches. Alternatively, larvae may also develop under dry bark. The species overwinters as an immature or mature larva. Pupation usually takes place in the larval galleries.[3]

gollark: Wow, that's somehow half the speed of my home connection run over some ancient phone line.
gollark: This is mostly two-way, i.e. two threads per core, however some enterprisey ones go to 4 or 8; this has diminishing returns because more and more of the execution resources are already used.
gollark: So when the core is waiting on memory access required for one thread, say, it can run the other one in the meantime.
gollark: Most modern CPUs support "simultaneous multithreading", where one core can run multiple threads by switching between them *very* fast (without OS intervention/context switches, I think). You might expect this to make them slower, and sometimes it does, but each core has a bunch of resources which just one running thread may underutilize.
gollark: Basically, "cores" is the number of physical... concurrent... processing... things on the CPU, and "threads" is how many tasks they can run "at once".
