Field Notes

Description:

This bug is usually seen from late april to august, before that, their larvas are living 3-5 years in the ground, before getting adult bugs, and mating.
They usually eat pollen and nectar, preferring the flowers with strong scent - :( they are eating up all my roses, lilacs, and the pinks.

Habitat:

gardens, parks
