Unifascia larvae can be found, in early spring, mining the leaves of Ceanothus cuneatus in a chapparral habitat in Monterey County, Calif. The larvae's activity creates a noticeable, dark, circular spot on the leaf. The larvae of Microcalyptris punctulata are also mining the leaves of cuneatus at this time. When unifascia exits the leaf, it makes a circular, silken cocoon on the underside of the leaf and emerges a few weeks later.
