On May 17th, 2012, one specimen of the antlike leaf beetle Phytobaenus amabilis was found in the forest Bienwald near Scheibenhardt by using a beating tray on a willow (Salix sp.). The Eurosiberian species is known to occur from Europe to Japan und develops in rotting wood. It was first discovered in 2008 in the Bienwald. Otherwise only old records (before 1950) exist from Brandenburg and Thuringia. In Germany the species is very rare and currently classified as RL 0 (missing).
