And now for my meetings with Anisarthron barbipes (SCHRANK, 1781)


This species in Poland crawling mainly in large cities, for many species of deciduous trees. I noted it, among other things: maple, mountain ash, oak, poplar, as well as fruit trees.
Swarming usually occurs after the appearance of Rhamnusium bicolor, in June, sometimes in July, during hot weather, and lasts a relatively short time, about a week - 10 days.

Very interesting species, never seen in France since ... 1974 !

Dominique, look for it next year in urban environments, such as parks and avenues of trees along the roads.

Waw!
