The wingspan is 10–12 mm (0.39–0.47 in).[2] Coleophora ramosella is characterised by white lines on a yellowish-ochre ground colour. Only reliably identified by dissection and microscopic examination of the genitalia.
The larvae feed on Aster amellus, Aster linosyris, Bellis perennis, Hieracium and Solidago virgaurea. They create a tubular, silken case of about 9 mm (0.35 in) long. It is trivalved and has a mouth angle of about 20°.[3] Full-grown larvae can be found in June.
