[2] These beetles inhabit bushes, hedgerows, woodland edges, meadows and fields, from the lowlands to mountainous areas.

The antennas are very short and end in a fan-like group of three lamellae, with which the beetle perceives fragrances.

[citation needed] The adult beetle can be seen from April to July, especially in late spring and early summer.

In April, they migrate to deeper soil layers to turn into a chrysalis and hatch in May into an imago, allowing an adult insect to emerge.

Larval stages will feed on roots of clover, grasses and crops (cereals, cabbages, cucumbers, beets, peas).
