Red-necked False Blister Beetle
Asclera ruficollis
Adults occur around woodland edges, flower-rich clearings, and hedgerows where they visit blossoms. They feed chiefly on pollen and nectar, moving between flowers during warm weather. The beetle's reddish neck region contrasts with its darker wing cases, and the adult can fly to seek food, mates, and suitable egg-laying sites.
