Protaetia cuprea (Kupfer-Rosenkäfer)
The Copper Chafer (Protaetia cuprea) is a 14–20 mm beetle with a metallic sheen ranging from copper-red to green. Active from May to August in gardens, meadows, and woodland edges, adults feed on nectar and pollen and act as pollinators, while the larvae live in decaying wood and humus-rich soil, breaking down organic matter. In this way, the species contributes both to pollination and soil fertility.
