The wingspan is 14–16 mm. Adults are on wing in June and July.

The larvae feed on Prunus spinosa, Prunus avium and Prunus padus. It has also been recorded from Prunus cerasus, Crataegus and Malus sylvestris. Larvae feed in a folded leaf or a spun shoot of the host plant.

The synonym Steganoptycha signatana as incorrectly used by Walsingham, refers to Crocidosema plebejana.
