Noble chafer — size comparison — facts and sources

The noble chafer is a metallic green beetle associated with deciduous trees in European forests, margins and clearings. Pale wing-case spots and irregular sculpture distinguish some similar chafers.

Adults visit flowers, favouring pollen on umbellate inflorescences, chiefly in summer.

Larvae develop in rotten wood and eat decaying organic matter.
