Description
The wingspan is 14–18 mm. In Canada, adults have been recorded from mid-April to mid-May, in June and from July to September. In the UK, adults are on wing in July and August. Adults have been found visiting thistle flowers. The larvae feed on red alder (Alnus rubra), grey alder (Alnus incana), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera), willow (Salix species) and cherry (Prunus species). It is a solitary leafroller, found under a silken web on the upper surface of a leaf of the host plant. The frass is caught in the web.
