Adults are on wing from June to August.[2]
The larvae feed on the fruits of Calligonum species, including Calligonum junceum and Calligonum microcarpum. They create a silky case. The surface is slightly rugulose (finely wrinkled). The valve is three-sided. The case has a length of 10–14 mm (0.39–0.55 in) and it is brownish, with light-colored, yellowish, slightly raised spots forming a marbled pattern. Larvae can be found from May to the beginning of June. Fully-fed larvae estivate and hibernate. A diapause of up to three to four years has been recorded.[3]
