Norfolk status
Heathland and open woodland where scattered birch trees found.

Like many of the Coleophora, adults are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection.

Leaf-mine: August to September, with some larvae developing more slowly, and feeding again in April and May.
The final case is fixed at right angles to leaf surface, with a serrated keel.
