Detailed description

Hosts

Lepidoptera: Semiothisa liturata Cl. (Geometridae); Helicoverpa zea Bodd., Mesapamea secalis L. (Noctuidae).

Biology

Eggs deposition: larvae. Emerge: pupae.

Hibernation

Females hibernate as adult.

Ecology

Biotopical preference: The species is met in region of Eastern Europe only in pine forests and in a greatest quantity it is presented in the bog moss pine forests (raised bogs). In a forest-steppe region of Western Siberia E. crispatoria is presented in mass in birch forests and aspen forests (shelter belts).

Seasonal activity: Females of E. crispatoria are active from June till September without distinctly expressed peak. Males are being met from June till October and have distinct peak of activity in August (Tereshkin, 2011, 2014).
