The southern beetle is an insect of the family Coleoptera in the order Coleoptera, and lives in Korea, Japan, and Europe. Its body length is about 12–30 mm, and the larvae are carnivorous, but the adults are herbivorous. In the spring, the female lays thousands of eggs in the soil, and the larvae that hatch from the eggs wait on flowers and follow the bees that come to feed on nectar by attaching themselves to the bodies of late-blooming bees and following them to the hive. The larvae that arrive at the hive eat the honey and eggs and become adults. #bumblebee #southern bee larvae #parasite
