Description:

L: ~10 mm The imago is found May to Spetember. The larva lives endoparasitic in larvae of the snout moths Hypsopygia glaucinalis (Pyralidae; imago active June to September); I wonder if the host may survive sometimes or not ? and whether it only parasites this snout moth or a wider range of host species?
