Species account from Moths of Glamorgan
(Gilmore, Slade & Stewart, 2009):

A moth of fens and marshes, the larvae feed in the heads of Bulrush. Occupied seedheads can be seen from some distance as the larvae push out large quantities of down, although Blastobasis larvae can also cause similar damage. Well recorded across the county.
