Clytus rhamni temesiensis, a subspecies widely distributed from Central Europe to Iran, belongs in warmer parts of its occurence area among very common flower-visitors. C. rhamni (all subspecies) is polyphagous on deciduous trees (Quercus, Castanea, Ulmus, Ficus, Prunus, Pyrus, Padus, Rhamnus, Pistacia, Paliurus, Pistacia, etc.). Larvae feed in the dead wood of branches and twigs of small diameter. Adults, active from May to August, are diurnal and anthophilous [✧].
