Although there are few records on the distribution map, Tiphia femorata may well be widespread across much of rural Nottinghamshire. It is a parasitoid of various Dung Beetles including Aphodius sp, with the females burrowing into the ground to locate their hosts.The adults regularly visit flowers and in a weedy meadow near Edwinstowe in early August 2017, we found many (all but one were females) feeding on Umbellifer flowers. | ||
