Davey, P., 2009: A local species in southern England and south Wales, the larval foodplant is unknown although dry vegetable refuse including dry berries is oft-quoted. Abroad, the larva is a pest of grape on vines (Vitis spp.). In Dorset, the moth is most frequent albeit at low density, within or close to woodland. Singletons are occasionally observed from more open, less leafy habitats such as localities along the coast.
