The Matt Black disc Bock ( Ropalopus femoratus ) is a beetle from the family of longhorn beetles .
features
The matt black disc bracket has a length of 7 to 14 millimeters. The red legs, which are culled at the base, are striking. The rest of the beetle is black. The black antennae are almost as long as the body. The matt black discbuck is similar to the related thornhorn discbuck ( Ropalopus varini ), one difference is that the third to tenth antennae of the antennae are provided with a spike at each end.
Occurrence and way of life
The occurrence extends to Europe except the outer north. The species is considered not to be endangered, if not common. In Germany the species is reported from all federal states, in Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, however, the matt black billy goat has not been seen for a long time.
The larval development often takes place under the bark of dried up twigs and branches in the crown area of trees. With preference, it can be oak , but also pome fruit plants such as apple and pear trees , stone fruit plants , maples , alders , chestnut trees , beeches , European hop beeches , elms , walnut trees , roses , grapevines or hazel such as the common hazel . There the larva eats winding passages into the twig or branch. The development takes one to two years from hatching to the pupa cradle, pupation takes place in spring. The beetles can be found in old deciduous forests, in parks and orchards on blossoms, from May to July on hardwood fathers. Earlier sightings are rarer, which is explained in the IUCN Red List by the fact that few entomologists are on field observation this early in the year. The imago feeds on pollen.
