The larvae feed on Artemisia campestris and Artemisia dracunculus. Larval feeding results in gall formation. The gall has the form of a swelling of the apical part of the main shoot. The larvae have a yellowish or reddish body and blackish-brown head. Pupation takes place within the gall or in the soil.[4] Larvae can be found from September to May.
