Basic Information

Tropinota hirta

Behaarde gouden tor, Blossom Feeder

Tropinota hirta, also known as the "apple blossom beetle" or "hairy rose beetle", is a species of beetle in the Scarabaeidae family, native to the Old World. It is not found in North or South America. Common from April onwards on flowering plants, whose parts it feeds on, this polyphagous rose chafer causes serious damage to crops and ornamental flowers. The larvae live in the soil and feed on roots (often dead ones) without causing significant damage.
