The wingspan is 14–18 mm. The ground color of the wings is white (silky in appearance). There are fine brown cross-lines across both fore and hindwings and a row of black dots along the margin of both wings. There are two generations per year with adults on wing from mid April to August.

The larvae feed on Corylus avellana, Betula and sometimes Carpinus betulus. Larvae can be found from May to September. It overwinters as a pupa.
