The larvae have been recorded mining, with which is meant tunnelling within the tissues of the stems, an unknown Fimbristylis species, a large rush-like plant related to papyrus, known locally as tikog. The tikog has economic importance and is used locally to produce a fibre, and thus this tiny moth can be seen as a nuisance species, because it harms the plant.^[1]
