Host plants:
The caterpillar lives polyphagous on deciduous trees and herbs. I found larvae in the Upper Rhine Valley at oak and in South Tyrol on nettle.
Habitat:
Chloroclysta siterata colonizes grove rich habitats of all kinds.
Life cycle:
The moths occur hibernating between August and next May. The caterpillar lives from late May through August.
Remarks:
The common species is widespread throughout most of Europe. It is also found in Morocco and parts of Western Asia (e.g. Turkey).
