Moustache musk (Aromia moschata)

The body is large, elongated, 23-34 mm long. Elytra and entire body with metallic luster, green, blue, bronze, rarely black. Pronotum is red, with a dark cross-wrinkled border at the base and apex. In the nominative form, the pronotum is the same color as the elytra.

Beetles appear in nature in July-early August. They feed for a while, visiting inflorescences of umbelliferae and other flowering plants. Then they fly to the willow, mate, after which the females lay their eggs in the cracks of the bark in the basal part of the trunks. Embryonic development lasts 20-26 days. The hatched larvae are embedded under the bark, then go deeper into the wood, gnaw from bottom to top long longitudinal, sometimes winding passages. The length of the passages in wood reaches 40 cm, width-13-18 mm or more. The larvae live in the moist wood of only growing trees. After the third wintering season, they gnaw out longitudinal cradles in the wood, in which they turn into pupae. A new generation of beetles appears in July.

And in Moldova they are found?!

You can detect a beetle by its specific smell and eaten leaves. Eats almost everything, including acacia. In the Volga region, they appear in the crown of June-early July.

Assaf:
They do. In one place (I haven't been there yet), someone caught a bunch of tasteless ones. I have 1 of them in my collection, the rest are from Zhenya and Vitalik.

Yeah? Can I tell you more? It always seemed to me that the larva was hanging out in the willow wood, and the beetle didn't eat anything but umbrella nectar and meadowsweet. I don't remember the smell, it doesn't seem to smell frown.gif

About what the musky barbel eats. It is suitable for many flowers and berries. For example, they come to me to eat ripe raspberries or cherries pecked by sparrows. Strawberries are also good. The larvae live in old willows. The beetle smells very strong and powerful, but for a very short time-the smell instantly disappears. To feel it, you need to grab it and quickly sniff it. The supply of musk is also limited, so the second time the beetle will smell only after a few hours. And not the fact that the bug you caught has already accumulated a stock of chemical weapons. no.gif

Yes, that's right, and in the chest area, i.e. in the middle of the beetle's body, there are aromatic pores from which an odorous secret is released.

I know. It just looks fun to catch big barbels and sniff them quickly.. And bedbugs, such as turtles, are also fun to catch lol.giflike this

Now it seems to be selected in a separate view. It is often found in the south of Primorye. It peacefully co-exists on the same willows together with the rarer Chloridolum sieversi (by the way, the latter has an even more pungent musk smell).

Photo of a very interesting barbel, which, however, in my area in the last 15 years has become so banal that I do not collect it at all.

Today I was going through my aromas and came across a blue form of a male Aromia moschata Linnaeus, 1758.
The beetle was caught in the mass of its green counterparts on 29.07.1996 on the umbrella.
Here: Metro station Balashikha district, near the village. Poltevo, a power line clearing in the forest.

On February 5, a classmate brought me Aromia moschata
[attachmentid()=166874]
and found it in her apartment (3rd floor) Kiev, Solomyansky district, Pobedy Avenue 43.
then the temperature from the outside was about -5. Do they spend the winter in their homes???

No, beetles don't overwinter, larvae do... Probably, some product made of willow or aspen was brought to the apartment, where the larva "lived", which successfully metamorphosed...

Well, if the house has something made of suitable wood (it usually develops in a willow tree), then why not? He could easily have left early.

clarified:
In mid-September, a log (presumably a linden tree) was brought home from the KPI park.

To be honest, I don't know that he was in linden. Maybe the log isn't fake? confused.gif Although we have very few wild linden trees (mostly planted in cities), this is why it is in willow (I have never found it in aspen).

Not linden..., rather willow or aspen / poplar....

In the Krasnodar Territory, both hermit and Alpine barbel were caught - we also never found such animals.

We must look for them in the wilting willows. In Anapa on such trees in the mass met 3-4 years ago. Now these willows have been removed, and the beetles are gone.
This one with the red pronotum is from Dagestan.
And where did you find a hermit in the Krasnodar Territory? Maybe you're talking about the discovery near Maykop, in Adygea?

Yes, there is definitely one in the KCR. I know there are good collections of musk from the Dauta Gorge. Maybe we have it somewhere to the east, in the Kuma floodplain, where there are a lot of willows and poplars in theory. In the region of KMV somehow did not have a chance for 20 years of fishing. If there is, it is very rare.

Who knows, please tell me why of all the raspberries Agomia moschata (only 8 pieces, not all in the photo) chose one bush? They didn't smell to me, so maybe they can smell each other better and meet each other that way. And for what possible reason did one beetle stand with its wings outstretched for a few minutes, fluttering them, but not taking off? And yes, they love raspberries.
