COMMENTS

This species frequents many kinds of forest habitats: coniferous, deciduous, wet and herbaceous open areas. Its flight period extends from May to September. As for many species of Pherbellia, Bratt et al. (1969) described them and detailed the larval biology using various terrestrial gastropods as prey. In nature, larvae have been found in two species of Clausilia Draparnaud, 1805. The puparium is formed outside the shell of the host snail. The overwintering stage seems to be the mature larva. the larval biology using various terrestrial gastropods as prey. In nature, larvae have been found in two species of Clausilia Draparnaud, 1805.
