Adults are on wing from May to August in two generations per year. The larvae feed on Aster, Erigeron annuus, Silphium, Solidago, Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, Hypericum perforatum, Medicago sativa, Melilotus officinalis, Trifolium, Monarda fistulosa, Picea glauca, Pinus banksiana, Pinus resinosa, Pinus strobus, Pinus sylvestris, Fragaria, Malus, Prunus pumila, Prunus serotina, Prunus virginiana, Rosa, Comandra umbellata, Ulmus and Verbena from within folded leaves.
