I record it here in the mountains from mid-May to mid-July. According to
Gilligan et al, Olethreutine Moths of the midwestern U.S., the larvae bore in
twigs of black locust attacking new growth primarily. Last instar larvae
overwinter in leaf litter with adults emerging in the spring. Two
generations/year in the south.

In my experience over the last couple of years, I've found that the
only time I see these cute little moths is when their foodplant--Black
Locust--is blooming. I saw them for about a week and a half in early
April here and now that the blooms are faded I haven't seen any. Have
you noticed this as well?
