Description
Cerceris tuberculata, the largest representative of the genus in Europe, can reach a length of 17–22 millimetres (0.67–0.87 in). The adult female of Cerceris tuberculata digs a nest in the soil at a depth of about 50 cm. and provisions it with living prey items she has paralyzed with venom. Prey items are commonly weevils of the genus Cleonis. Adults fly from mid-July to September. They feed on the nectar of flowers (usually Apiaceae and Asteraceae).
