The pale yellow shank buckle or simply shank buckle ( Pidonia lurida ) is a European longhorn beetle .
description
The slender, brownish to reddish yellow beetle is 9 to 14 millimeters long. His pronotum is constricted at the front and rear edge and provided with a small, angular protruding hump on the side. The yellowish-brown elytra are almost parallel-sided and mostly darkened at the lateral edges and at the seam. The legs can also be partially blackened. The antennae of the males are considerably longer than those of the females.
Occurrence
The species is widespread in southern, central and eastern Europe, but very unevenly. In Germany the pale yellow shoelace buck prefers mountain areas. In northern Germany it occurs only in a few areas such as the Harz Mountains .
Way of life
The larva probably develops polyphagous in various coniferous and hardwoods. Depending on the altitude, the beetles can be found in forests from April to August, but mostly from June to July. They prefer creek banks, where they look for flowering plants growing there.
