Field Notes
Description:
The adults grow up to 7–8 millimetres (0.28–0.31 in) long. Elytra are pale yellow, while head and pronotum are orange-yellow. The shape of the head is extended forward. Theese thermophilic beetles can mainly be encountered in sunny places on inflorescences of Apiaceae species, especially Achillea species.
Notes:
This shot was purely accidental. What I really took a shot of was the orchid until I zoomed the photo earlier, I noticed this yellow bug. I thought that yellow thing was just a part of the flower. I'm really amazed! It's a surprise!
