The upper part of the legs has orange hairs. The moths confront threats by lying down on their back or side, extending the wings upwards and curling the abdomen to display the yellow tip. The larvae feed on a wide range of trees, including Acacia species, especially Acacia mearnsii. The species is considered a pest on Ulmus × hollandica 'Wredei', Platanus orientalis, various maple species and Rosaceae species such as Malus pumila, Prunus armeniaca, Prunus avium, Prunus persica and Rubus idaeus.
