The wingspan is 19–32 mm. Adults are on wing in July in Mexico and from May to September further north.
The larvae feed on Arctium, Carduus, Cirsium, Cynara and Silybum species. They are a pest of Cynara scolymus. The females lay their eggs on the bottom side of artichoke plants. The caterpillars can cause considerable damage.
