Biology
These moths have two generations per year (bivoltine). The moth flies from late May to mid-September in western Europe. The larvae are considered a pest of trees and shrubs. They live in a rolled leaf and are polyphagous, feeding on various deciduous trees and shrubs including oak, willow, birch, honeysuckle, sorbus, apple and pear. Pupation takes places in the rolled leaves.[http://www.phegea.org/Checklists/Lepidoptera/Tortricidae/Pheparana.htm Lepidoptera of Belgium]
