Field Notes

Habitat:

Campos de Los Huertos de Totana (Murcia).

Notes:

Females lay eggs on host plants of certain species of nocturnal Lepidoptera, larvae to adhere to butterfly eggs and parasiten the caterpillars. Adults feed on nectar.
Las hembras depositan los huevos en las plantas nutricias de determinadas especies de lepidópteros nocturnos, para que las larvas se adhieran a los huevos de las mariposas y parasiten a las orugas. Los adultos se alimentan de néctar.
