The black- tipped neck buck ( Stictoleptura fulva , Syn . : Leptura fulva , Brachyleptura fulva , Corymbia fulva , Paracorymbia fulva ) is a longhorn beetle that occurs in Europe .
features
The 10 to 15 millimeter long beetle is black with yellow-brown wings that are blackened at the tip . It differs from various similar species by its long, protruding, light hair on the top of the pronotum and on the base of the wing.
Occurrence
The distribution area of the species extends from western, southern and central Europe to the Ukraine and Turkey. It can also be found in southern England and Ireland, but is absent in northern Europe. In Germany, Stictoleptura fulva is relatively warmth-loving and occurs mainly on the Upper Rhine and in the Palatinate. It is also one of the rarer species in Austria and Switzerland.
Way of life
The development of beetles has not been adequately researched. Horion suspects that the larvae live in rotten, dead branches of poplar and beech trees . The beetles appear from late May to July and are avid flower visitors.
