Species account from Moths of Glamorgan
(Gilmore, Slade & Stewart, 2009):

Despite only having five records on the database, these are spread across the county. The larvae cause galls in the stems of Bracken. Given how common the foodplant is in the county, it is likely that this little moth will be far more common than current records would suggest.
