Host plant. In Israel the larvae have been recorded feeding on Prunus sp. and Pyrus sp. (Bodenheimer 1930a: 174, 1937: 102). Bodenheimer (1930b: 235) gave a detailed description of its biology. The record of larva from Prosopis (Halperin & Sauter 1992: 121) should most likely be referred to Anarsia acaciae .
