Description

The species is approximately 4–6 mm in length and is a uniform dark colouration on its head, thorax and abdomen. It has four prominent orange blotches on the elytra.[2]

It is very similar in appearance to Glischrochilus quadripunctatus. In difference it is stouter, with the sides of the thorax more or less continuous with the elytra.[3]

Distribution

Glischrochilus hortensis is a widespread Euro-Siberian species.[4]

It is one of the three species of Glischrochilus found in the United Kingdom[2][5] and has a wide distribution in England, Wales, and Scotland.[1]

Habitat

Glischrochilus hortensis is often found in woodland,[2] particularly near exuding tree sap.[5] It feeds on the tree sap and over-ripe fruit.[3] A survey in Turkey in 2013 caught specimens in aerial traps baited with beer in a mixed broadleaved and coniferous tree forest.[4]

It is active all-year round, but most often found in the months April to October.[2][3]
