In the Kanto region they are so popular that we can often see them as many times as we do Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata at the city roadside trees or at the trees in the park.
They begin to boom to appear around in middle of July. As their chirp shows it, they sing loud like ‘Min-Min-Min’ (chirp sound of a robust cicada).
Their body has mottles of black color and green color with its center being spouted by white powder.
Rare ones of them include the one with entire body all black, or the one with entire body all green which is called ‘Mikado Type’.
Their wings are transparent and almost twice as long as their body.
Like the other bees, they take a sip of sap by piercing their sharp bait into the trees.
It takes 6 years that incubated larvae become imagines.
●Length(overall-length from head to wing) about 55 to 63 mm
●Adult Flight Season July to about September
