Remarks: Cerocoma schreberi as Cerocoma schaefferi is a thermophilous species that prefers warm, dry, and open habitats such as dry grasslands, stony slopes, field margins, and steppe-like areas. Adults are active from May to August and are often found visiting flowers of Asteraceae (e.g., yarrow, chamomile) and Apiaceae, where they feed on pollen and floral tissues. The species shows a strong dependence on these flowering plants for adult nutrition and reproduction. Larvae are parasitoids of solitary wasps, particularly species in the genus Tachysphex, developing inside wasp nests by consuming paralyzed prey.
