Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hi everyone,
I was visiting France last week.In northern France on the border with Germany.Tho localite is near Colmar. I visited one of the few locations where there are rare species of Cerambycidae Musaria rubropunctata. It's kind of similar way of life, as Cardoria scutellata.Is it a beetle that probably hibernates as an imago and he climb surfaced immediately in the spring. This species lives in Trinia glauca. Beetle is between clumps of Trinia.The Most of the adults caught sitting on the stem Trinia glauca, some pieces sitting on the ground near host plants. Some beetles were caught in flight around the host plants.

It's a beetle, which has a very colorful shield.Some pieces are all black shield, and some are orange.Is it nice.
