A small cream and caramel coloured moth associated with open mossy habitats, waste ground, damp heathland and seems to favour coastal habitats. The larvae feed within the stems of red bartsia (Odontites vernus) and yellow rattle (Rhinanthus minor). Small numbers are found most years on South Uist, possibly under-recorded elsewhere.
