Common in scrubland, hedgerows and open woodland throughout much of the British Isles. Abundant in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 8-9 mm. Not often recorded at light, and more frequently recorded in the larval stage, when mines are relatively easy to find where they are present. Larva mines leaves of Hawthorn, Apple, Rowan, Cotoneaster and Birch, over-wintering as a pupa in a cocoon.
