It is found in most of North America, including British Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Manitoba, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington.

The wingspan is 11–15 mm. Adults are on wing in June and July.

The larvae feed on Carya illinoinensis, Quercus and Malus species and possibly Amelanchier alnifolia.
