The wingspan is 16–19 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July.

The larvae feed on Achillea millefolium, Artemisia absinthium and Artemisia alba. They create a laterally strongly compressed, two-valved, black silken case of 10-11.5 mm long. The rear end is narrowed and the mouth angle is 20-25°. Larvae can be found from September to May.
