Description
Body length from 6 to 9 mm. The male is black, covered with white hairs. The female has a head, sides of the chest, scutellum and legs are black, the rest of the body is yellow-red. The wings of the male and female are brownish with white ends. After mating, the female lays up to 160 eggs in a bunch in the ground, mainly in places where there is rotted manure. In July and August, cylindrical larvae of a dirty gray-brown color covered with transverse wrinkled folds hatch from the testicles. These larvae live in the ground, near the roots that they gnaw, and if there are many, they cause significant harm.
The species is common in North Africa, Europe and Asia. Adults prefer flowers of umbrella plants.
