Host plants:
The larvae usually feed on birch (Betula), more rarely supposedly also alder (Alnus).

Habitat:
Falcaria lacertinaria inhabits birch-rich sites such as woodland clearings, sandy open woodland with pine and birch, the surroundings of bogs and also human settlements.

Life cycle:
The moths occur in two (mid-April to August) or only one (mid-May to early July, often around bogs in the northern foreland of the Alps) generations(s). The larvae develop between late May and September on boths very small and large birch trees. Pupation occurs in a cocoon between leaves. The pupa hibernates.

Remarks:
Falcaria lacertinaria occurs in many regions of especially central and northern Europe (in southern Europe often rare and most often only on mountains) and in some regions of temperate Asia.
