A. villosoviridescens

The beetle is named for its golden-black colour, with a golden bloom on its elytron and thorax. It reaches a length of Шаблон:Convert.[2]

Habitat

Their flight time is from May to August.[2] For the larval development the species is quite polyphagous with a wide variety of hosts, probably including Aconitum, Angelica, Anthriscus, Artemisia, Aster, Carduus, Cirsium, Chaerophyllum, Eupatorium, Foeniculum, Gentiana, Helleborus, Heracleum, Peucedanum, Salvia, Senecio, Urtica and Veratrum album.[2][3] The larvae develop in the stalks of the host plant, working their way down while growing, cutting off the stalk and creating pupal cells near ground level. Adults emerge through a newly cut exit hole in the side of the stalk.
