Field Notes
Description:
This beetle is widespread in most of Europe, in East Palearctic ecozone and in the Near East. The adults grow up to 13–20 millimetres (0.51–0.79 in). The head and pronotum are dark-brown, while elytra are yellowish, with black dots and stripes, rough imitations of wasps, which probably gives them some protection from birds.
Habitat:
Woodland edge.
