Host plants:
The larvae feed especially on dead oak leaves, but also other dead leaves and fresh plant material.
Habitat:
Pechipogo plumigeralis is typical for Mediterranean holm oak (Qurcus ilex) and supra-Mediterranean downy oak (quercus pubescens) woodlands
Life cycle:
The larvae hibernate. I recorded them together with those of Paracolax tristalis in Provence (Luberon) in early October 2014. The moths occur in several generations between May and early October.
Remarks:
Pechipogo plumigeralis occurs from NW-Africa mainly across S-Europe (to the north up to Western France, very locally in SE-England, Valais and very sporadically further north, e.g. in E-Europe) to Central Asia.
