Biology: The orange-yellow larvae develop gregariously in galled flower buds of Lonicera spp. ( Caprifoliaceae) and possibly also Viburnum spp. ( Viburnaceae). Our records are all from Lonicera xylosteum . Infected buds become strongly swollen and do not open. Probably univoltine; pupation and hibernation in the soil.

Distribution: Widespread in Europe including Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Georgia.
