The larvae feeds most often on Quercus.
Habitat:
Drymonia dodonaea inhabits mixed oak woodlands, oak groves and similar places.

Drymonia dodonaea flies in a single generation from May to June or July. I found caterpillars in grasslands interspersed with oak trees on the eastern Swabian Alb in July. The pupa overwinters.

Drymonia dodonaea is pretty little threatened, common and climatically adaptable.
Remarks:
Drymonia dodonaea occurs especially from Central Europe to Russia.
