Stictoleptura rubra, probably the most common Palaearctic longhorn beetle with vast area of distribution, has been described from "Europa" as Leptura rubra by by Carl Linné in 1758 [▽]. S. rubra larvae develop in decaying wood of conifers, especially spruce and pines, development also exceptionally observed on Fagales (Quercus, Fagus and Betula). Pupation occurs inside the wood in early summer, life cycle at least 2 years. Adults, active from May to September (with peak in July–August), are diurnal and anthophilous, females can be often found on fallen trunks of the host trees [❖][✧][✳].
Body length: 10 – 20 mm Life cycle: 2 – 3 years Adults in: May – September (mainly in July–August) Host plant: dead wood of coniferous trees (Picea, Pinus, Abies, Larix), exceptionally in Fagales (Quercus, Fagus and Betula) Distribution: Albania, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Corsica, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Sardinia, Serbia, Sicily, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, China, Japan, Kazakhstan, North Korea, South Korea, Turkey
