April and May. "Feeding in silken galleries in the small 

 patches of Hepaticce which grow on smooth-barked trees as 

 lilac, asli, &c. There is no visible external sign of the presence 

 of the larva within the tufts of liverwort, but if these are 

 gently sundered from the trunks the galleries at once 

 become visible ; these are of thick white silk, covered with 

 gnawings from the bark and debris of the liverwort."

 and birch trees. 



Pupa long, pointed, shining red ; spun up within the
