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]
