Hairy rose beetle — size comparison — facts and sources

The hairy rose beetle occurs in flower-rich open country, grassland, meadows, gardens and forest margins. Pale brown hairs densely cover its dark body; small pale wing-case marks occur. The pronotum lacks Oxythyrea funesta’s typical white spot arrangement.

Adults eat pollen and plant parts from flowers including composites and flowering shrubs.

Larvae develop in soil; the cited source associates them with roots.
