It is found in Europe except Scandinavia and Italy; also in Western Asia. The caterpillars feed mainly on ash (Fraxinus), burrowing into the buds when newly hatched, and subsequently feeding on the flowers and leaves.

The eggs overwinter. The caterpillars live in spring until mid-May on ash trees. The young caterpillars can be collected with flowering ash branches. They hide in older instars during the day in bark crevices, under bark and moss, especially on trunk bases, drilled in rotten wood or on the ground around the tree base in the litter layer.

The moth flies only with the onset of cooler nights from mid-August to late September, though he is largely developed in the pupa already in summer.
