Moths are probably on the wing in May and June with a possible second brood in August.
Little is know about larval hosts but Ceropegia (a climbing succulent) in the Asclepiadaceae family (in the same order as the Oleaceae) is noted.
Dactyloceras bramarbas has some characters in male genitalia that are totally different from Dactyloceras lucina. There are the two longer processi of the uncus, the small transtilla with two lateral dentated processi, only one spine on the internal ventral process of the valva, a shorter aedeagus, and the generally smaller size.
