Information: Zonitis nana was described by Ragusa in 1882.
In Zonitis nana, the head is only slightly narrower than the pronotum, and the scutellum is black. The head behind the eyes is evenly rounded, not swollen, with rather coarse and dense punctation and black pubescence. The pronotum is transverse, much broader than long, with sides almost parallel and anterior angles broadly rounded; the disc lacks any strong impressions. Its punctation is also coarse but sparser than on the head, and the pubescence is pale, as on the elytra. Both the elytra and the pronotum are yellow and bear pale pubescence.
Body length: 8 - 12 mm
Peak activity: March - August (depends on region)
Remarks: Zonitis nana inhabits warm, sun-exposed environments, showing a clear preference for thermophilous to xerothermophilous habitats. It is typically associated with dry grasslands, steppe-like slopes, sandy or rocky areas, and other open habitats rich in flowering plants.
Adults of Zonitis nana, as well as the related Zonitis flava, are diurnal and active in full sunlight. They are often found on the flowers of plants belonging to the families Apiaceae and Asteraceae, and occasionally on flowers of other plant families. On these flowers, the beetles feed on pollen, mate, and subsequently lay their eggs. The eggs are deposited in compact clusters inside still-closed flower buds of the aforementioned plant families and are glued together.
