Common in gardens, orchards, hedgerows and woodland in Britain, north to Perthshire, uncommon in Ireland. Widespread in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 10-12 mm. Imago fairly regular at light, but more frequently recorded in the larval stage, when mines are relatively easy to find where they are present. Larva mines leaves of Apple, subsequently living within a leaf-fold, over-wintering as a pupa in a cocoon.
