Notes

One remarkable finding of this species in a Juncus effusus tussock, October 2020. As this species lives in wetlands and has a plurivoltine phenology, being active throughout the entire year more or less, it is not clear if this species was still actively searching for hosts, was in a state of quiescence or, indeed, was looking for a hibernaculum. If this were the case, hibernation could be facultative, but at this stage, it is more likely the wasp was still searching for hosts. Fitton et al. (1988) mentions the larvae overwinter on the subadult hosts, which makes adult hibernation less likely.

Status: Unverified.
