Host plants:
The larvae feed on sorrels like Rumex acetosa, R. acetosella and R. thyrsiflorus.

Habitat:
Adscita schmidti inhabits especially extensively managed grasslands and pastures in mountain systems of the Iberian Peninsula. It usually misses in the lowlands and always near coasts. I recorded larvae on R. acetosella and R. thyrsiflorus at the edge of a cattle pasture in 1800m in the Sierra de Gredos.

Life cycle:
The moths occur between May and July, according to region and altitude. The larvae hibernate. I recorded them at the base of the hostplants (R. thyrsiflorus) or in the neighbouring moss and grass (R. acetosella) in late March 2022.

Remarks:
Adscita schmidti is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula.
