Adults hatch in the middle of July.

The larvae feed on Quercus species (including Q. dentata, Q. serrata, Q. mongolica, Q. acutissima, Q. alinea and Q. variabilis), as well as Cyclobalanospsis glauca. The larva of the first instar bores into the bud. Later instars feed on flowers and fresh leaves. Pupation takes place inside a shelter which the larva nibble out of the bark.[2]
