Life Cycle
The larvae feed for two growing seasons. The first summer they feed on the lower surfaces of leaves. They spend the winter in small cases attached to buds or twigs. The following spring, they feed by eating into the buds and constructing new cases as necessary. Before full maturation, they move to the leaves to feed, chewing into the petioles, causing the leaves to break and fall.(1)
