Host plants:
The larvae feed polyphagously on shrubs and trees.

Habitat:
Agriopis bajaria inhabits wood-rich habitats of all kinds, but shows a certain preference for dry and warm places.

Life cycle:
The moths occur in late autumn (October to December) and regionally (e.g. Greece) also in spring (February/March). The larvae occur between April and June.

Remarks:
Agriopis bajaria occurs from N-Africa across many parts of Europe (misses in the North) well into temperate Asia.
