Gold pit oak splendour beetle

Gold pit oak splendour beetle

Chrysobothris affinis

A species of Chrysobothris

Adorned with a metallic sheen, gold pit oak splendour beetle flaunts an exoskeleton that reflects hues of green and bronze, camouflaging effectively amidst vegetation. With an appetite for deciduous trees, larvae burrow intricate galleries under the bark, while adults are found on foliage and flowers. Through this activity, they participate in the ecological process of decomposition, contributing to nutrient cycling in their habitat.

Habitat Preferences of Gold pit oak splendour beetle Through Different Life Stages
To find gold pit oak splendour beetle, one should search in different locations depending on its life stage. For eggs and larvae, check under the bark of various hardwood trees where they burrow and feed on the inner layers. Pupae might be located in the same habitats, particularly within the damaged wood or in small chambers near the outer layer of the bark. Adults can be typically spotted on or around host trees, actively feeding on foliage and mating, especially during warmer months. For successful observation, examining habitats with hardwood presence is essential, while investigating tree damage signs can increase chances of locating larvae and pupae.

How and Where Can You Find Gold pit oak splendour beetle at Different Life Stages
Larva Gold pit oak splendour beetle larvae are typically found under the bark of dead or dying trees. To find them, search for trees with loose bark and gently peel it back to look for the larvae and their characteristic feeding galleries.
Pupal Gold pit oak splendour beetle pupae are found within the same habitats as larvae. Carefully inspect under the bark of the host trees without damaging the pupae to observe them during this stage.
Adult Gold pit oak splendour beetle adults can often be spotted on the surfaces of trees, where they lay eggs and feed. Look for them by visually inspecting the bark, especially on sun-exposed sides of the trees during warmer parts of the day.

Forestry Pest

Infestations of gold pit oak splendour beetle can lead to structural weakening as larvae bore through stems and roots, disrupting water and nutrient flow. While small numbers cause minimal visible damage, severe infestations can kill trees, affecting forest health and possibly impacting timber production and native ecosystems.

Rectangle
Agricultural Pests

Larvae of gold pit oak splendour beetle bore into hardwood stems, disrupting water and nutrient flow. Infestation levels range from mild to severe with symptoms like wilting and branch die-off. When larvae populations are high, they can cause significant tree decline and mortality, potentially impacting industries reliant on hardwoods.

Rectangle
Hurt Plant

Gold pit oak splendour beetle as an adult bores into stems and roots to feed and lay eggs, causing structural damage. Larvae tunnel within, disrupting nutrient flow. Host plants may exhibit wilted foliage, reduced growth, and, in severe cases, death.
