The wingspan is about 20 mm.Thorax with strong longitudinal crest. Forewings oblong, grey, ochreous-brown, or dark purplish-fuscous; tufts slight; veins sometimes pale, seldom broadly whitish-ochreous; edge of basal patch sometimes dark marked; central fascia and costal patch confluent, darker or red-brown, often obsolete; sometimes a white subcostal streak edged beneath with blackish, or an ochreous and ferruginous median longitudinal streak, or dorsum broadly whitish- ochreous. Hindwings light grey, somewhat darker-strigulated. Larva pale green; head and plate of 2 often brownish-tinged, sometimes black. ^[3]

It is a very variable species, with dozens of named forms, and many intermediate types, which has led to its description by over 125 synonyms.^[4] Some forms closely resemble Acleris cristana so certain identification requires microscopic examination of the genitalia.^[5]

Adults are on the wing from June to July and again in August. There are two generations in much of its range.

The larvae feed on Salix species in Europe. First instar larvae bore into buds. Later instars feed in spun leaves. Other recorded food plants include Vaccinium, Andromeda, Ceanothus, Gaylussacia, Quercus and Rhododendron.

The species epithet hastiana was given by Carl Linnaeus in honor of his student, the Finnish physician Barthold Rudolf Hast, who studied natural sciences under Linnaeus at Uppsala University.^[6]
