Host plants:
The larvae feed on Tamarix.
Habitat:
Clytie syriaca inhabits coastal areas (e.g. dunes), wetlands, river valleys, road sides and other places with Tamarix.
Life cycle:
The pupa hibernates and the moths occur probably in most often two generations between April and October. In Samos Island I recorded many young larvae in late June and early July 2016 on tamarisks that grew directly in the hot sand on the beach. A pupa went in dormancy. Thus the second generation is probably not complete in the field, too.
Remarks:
Clytie syriaca occurs from the Balkans (e.g. Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Greece including many islands) to China.
