Larvae can be found from mid-April to June.
The head and divided prothoracic plate are black and the body is greyish green with round black pinacula which are easily seen, while the anal plate is brownish.
The larva rolls a leaf into a tube, held together with silken strands which can be seen on the edges of the roll.
On creeping willow, due to their small size several leaves are spun around the central shoot, starting a short distance below the tip and working upwards.
Larvae of A. temerella also roll leaves around creeping willow.
