This very common species can be found in most of Europe and in North America. Argyresthia goedartella is a univoltine species. These moths fly from May to October. They fly at night and on sunny afternoons. The larvae feed on birch (Betula species) and alder (Alnus glutinosa). They overwinter in a shoot or hard male catkin of the host plants. In late March or April, larvae congregate and pupate in a cocoon under the bark.
