Trichiini

The Trichiini are a tribe of the scarab beetle family (Scarabaeidae), though historically they were often classified as a subfamily, Trichiinae.[1] The conspicuous bee beetles (Trichius) are probably the best-known genus in Europe.

Synonyms

Trichiinae (see text)

They vary in size from 6 to 65 mm and can be distinguished from Cetoniini by having covered epimeres, and lateral edges of the elytra which are not trimmed.

The adults feed on sugar-rich secretions of stems, leaves, fruits and flowers of different plants. Most larvae develop in rotten wood.

gollark: If you want long timescales or detailed predictions then weather prediction is really hard, but the simple rule of "low pressure means problems" is fairly accurate because something something air from other places moves in.
gollark: No dubious "chaos theory" involved.
gollark: This sounds basically right.
gollark: It's not a butterfly effect thing?
gollark: It's not impossible that their joints could react to air pressure somehow. And you can do very coarse weather prediction off air pressure trends.
