Bembecia ichneumoniformis on UK Moths website

Bembecia ichneumoniformis occurs in southern England to Cambridgeshire, Herefordshire and also in south Wales. It frequents downland, quarries, embankments and sea-cliffs, mostly found on chalky soils. The larva feed on the roots of Anthyllis vulneraria and Lotus spp. Almost all recent records in Essex are from the south of the county (Goodey, 2004). References
