Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Buprestidae Sub Family   Description   jewel beetles Background to Family   Attractive, but inconspicuous, beetles that are mostly confined to the southern half of England and Wales. The larvae typically develop in, or beneath, the bark of dying, broadleaved trees and shrubs, where the adults leave characteristic ‘D’-shaped emergence holes. Some species occur in the stems of rushes and sedges, while others mine the leaves of trees and perennial herbs.     © Roger Key No. taxa in DBIF   14 No. interactions   139 % interactions with British data   27% No. records   185 % taxa with British data   100% Notes   Data currently unassessed by a specialist for changes in nomenclature, new species to the British list, new interactions, errors in original sources, and misspellings.
