The wingspan is 17–22 mm. The moth flies in two generations from May to November. The larvae overwinter in loosely woven cocoons.[2]
The larvae feed on various trees and shrubs with a preference for Rosaceous plants, particularly apple (Malus domestica) and pear (Prunus pyrifolia).[3] The species is considered a pest due to the damage the larvae do to fruit trees while feeding.
