Host plants:
The larvae feed on Juniperus.

Eupithecia conquesta is currently known from the dry and juniper-rich shores of two salt lakes in Cyprus.
Life cycle:
The moths occur in autumn (especially October/November). The larvae develop during winter and spring (March/April).
Remarks:
Eupithecia conquesta has been separated from the more widespread Eupithecia phoeniceata only recently. It is known only from Cyprus.
