Oedemera flavipes is a very common species of beetle of the family Oedemeridae, subfamily Oedemerinae. These beetles are present in most of Europe and in the Near East.
Their body is gray-green, dark green or coppery, while forelegs are yellow (hence the Latin word flavipes) or reddish. The male of Oedemera flavipes, as in most Oedemera species, possesses the hind femora very swollen, whereas in female the femora are thin. The adults grow up to 9–11 millimetres (0.35–0.43 in) long and can mostly be encountered from May through July feeding on pollen and nectar, mainly on Asteraceae, Rosaceae, Convolvulaceae and Apiaceae species. They are a common prey of the checkered beetle, Trichodes alvearius. The larvae develop in stems of herbaceous plants or in decaying branches.
Oedemera nobilis is a species of beetle. It belongs to the Oedemeridae family. The species is closely related to other species in the genus Oedemera. Two references are provided for further study: one by Vladimír Švihla in 1999 and another by X. A. Vazquez in 2002. These references offer detailed information about the European fauna of Oedemeridae beetles.
