A common species throughout Belgium.
Specimens of Yponomeuta padella, Y. malinellus and Y. cagnagella can in many cases not be identified beyond doubt either by external characteristics or by genital differences and even less by photos of living moths. Knowledge of the caterpillar host plant is indispensable.
One generation a year: July–August.
Road and forest edges, parks, plantations.
