Enoploderes sanguineum is a rare species associated with old hollow deciduous trees. Larvae of this insect develop in dead tissues of such hollows. In contrast to Rhamnusium spp. this beetle seems to be diurnal. The depicted beetles have been reared from larvae collected near Okami (ოკამი, 40 km NE of Tibilisi, Georgia) in May 2014.
