Field Notes

Description:

Malachite beetle on asteraceae flower.

Habitat:

Margins of deciduous woodland in mount Chortiatis (Thessaloniki, Greece).

Notes:

Possible Malachius bipustulatus but it's very difficult to distinguish confidently between species of the same genus. In Greece only there are 19 different very similar species.
