Agapanthia villosoviridescens
In Europe a very common species developing in a variety of herbaceous plants (eg. Cardus, Urtica, Angelica, Chaerophyllum, Artemisia, Salvia, Aconitum). Like the other species of Agapanthia genus, the larvae of this beetle develop in the above-ground plant tissues (stalks). They cut off the plant stalk before pupation, create the pupal cells near ground level, and the adults leave the stalks via a newly created exit hole in the side of the remaining stalk. Body length: 10 - 22 mm Life cycle: 1 year Adults in: May - August Host plant: polyphagous in herbaceous plants Distribution: Europe, Russia, Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Near East
Lat: 38.73, Long: -0.02
