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]
