Host plants:
The larvae are polyphagous on flowers and seeds, only rarely also on leaves. More important are Clematis vitalba and Eupatorium cannabinum.
Habitat:
Chloroclystis v-ata inhabits almost all available habitats from forest to open landscapes, provided that they are not managed too intensely.
Life cycle:
The moths occur in two, in the south probably also three generations between March/April and September. Larvae occur from late April to October. The mostly developed moths hibernate in the pupal skin.
Remarks:
Chloroclystis v-ata is found in Europe (except northern Scandinavia) and temperate Asia to Japan.
