Larval case

The wingspan is 16–24 mm. Adults are yellowish with white markings. They are on wing in August in western Europe.[2]

The larvae feed on Chamaespartium sagittale, Genista tinctoria and Vicia species. They create a large shining black tubular silken case of about 19 mm long. The mouth angle is about 60°. The end of the case is strongly rolled in.[3] Full-grown larvae can be found at the end of June.
