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

A widespread species that occurs wherever the foodplant (Colt’s-foot) is found. Best recorded as a larva in early spring, within the seed heads. From our data it would appear that this species is found from April until September, although the literature indicates that it is actually bivoltine.
