As a member of the Tachinidae family, it is a parasitoid fly, with females depositing eggs or larvae on or near host insects. The species is native to North America. Like other Carcelia species, it likely targets lepidopteran larvae as hosts, though specific host records for C. amplexa remain limited in published literature.

The species was described by Webber in 1930 and is known to occur in North America. Like other members of its genus, it likely functions as an internal parasitoid of moth or butterfly larvae, though specific host records for this species are not well documented in the provided sources.

As a member of the family Tachinidae, it is a parasitoid fly, though specific host relationships for this species are not well documented in the available literature. The species was first described by Fallén in 1810 under the basionym Tachina vulgaris.
