Info The Red-stripped Oil Beetle Berberomeloe majalis [1] is one of the largest beetles in Europe, with a typical length of 5cm. In the larval state they are parasitic and live in the nests of solitary bees. In the adult state they are exclusively herbivorous and can be found in great numbers grazing in the dry and open grasslands of Portugal, Spain and Northern Africa. While the best-known specimens exhibit the typical red stripes from which their name derived, populations of entirely black beetles, like the one in the image, are also common.
