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.
