4E1CE576AA4A546A9FF7FB739AF036CD.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Species belonging to Enicospilus are koinobiont endoparasitoids of Lepidoptera, such as Noctuidae (e. g. Gauld and Mitchell 1981; Gauld 1985 b, 1988; Broad and Shaw 2016; Broad et al. 2018). Adult female wasps usually lay eggs within late instar larvae of Lepidoptera, with some exceptions. Broad et al. (2018) summarised the biology of Ophioninae including Enicospilus. Both sexes of adults are very frequently attracted to the light and considered to be nocturnal or crepuscular (e. g. Shimizu and Maeto 2016; Shimizu 2017).	en	Shimizu, So (2020): The Nepalese species of the genus Enicospilus Stephens, 1835 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Ophioninae): a preliminary revision and identification key to species.
