The larvae feed on Prunus dulcis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The beginning of the mine is a small corridor, mostly following a vein. The later mine is less straight, with a more diffuse frass line that usually leaves a clear zone at either side. The mine is proportionally short. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.
