Appearance
Host plants: The adult beetle causes damage to flowers of many orchard trees, like pear, cherry, European chestnut and other spring-blossoming fruit trees and ornamental plants (e.g. roses or peony). The beetle can feed also on many flowering weeds, i.e. different species of Compositae and Cruciferae. The beetle chews the petals, staminae and stigmae thus rendering the flower infertile. It can damage not only flowers in full blossom, but also in the bud stage. The grub (larva) lives in the soil and feeds on rotting plant material.References:
