Anastatus bifasciatus is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Eupelmidae. [2] It is native to Europe, and has been harnessed for augmentative biological control against the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys. [3] [2] [4] [5] [6] The study by Haye et al., 2015 especially demonstrates its effectiveness against the European BMSB invasion. [3] It has also been considered as a biological control agent against spongy moth ( Lymantria dispar ) eggs in North America. [7]

A. bifasciatus is a widespread generalist egg parasitoid of various arthropods, especially lepidoptera and hemiptera. [2] [4] [5]

Females live for up to two months, while the males, which are smaller, only have adult lives of a few days. [5] Females feed on nectar and honeydew. [5] [2]
