Field Notes
Description:
Every year I meet some of these guys around the house:
<br><br>
Usually I see 6-8 males whilst only 1 or 2 females.
<br><br>
Capital males are ~4-4,5cm.
<br><br>
Cute beetles with no serious chelicerae.
<br><br>
In the last few years their number has multiplied, also Mammoth wasp (Megascolia maculata) occurs more frequently since. (!)
