Biology
The species is a parasite of flies of the genus Calliphora (records so
far comprise Calliphora lilaea and Calliphora terraenovae). Because
these two Calliphora species have not yet been recorded from Germany,
the host species in Germany is so far unknown. Adults apparently emerge
during late summer and early fall, the so far only record of Alysia
alticola from Germany is from mid September (Peris-Felipo 2016).
