On June 23rd, 2011 one specimen of the false blister beetle Anogcodes ferruginea was discovered on a Rhine dam near Oberhausen-Rheinhausen (North Baden).The eurytopic species lives primarily in river meadows and is known to occur in the southern and eastern parts of Central Europe. Anogcodes ferruginea develops in decaying wood of oak (Quercus), pine (Pinus) and spruce (Picea). The adult beetles can be found on blossoms. In Germany the species is missing on the northwestern Federal States. Records are rather sporadic and the species is regarded as vulnerable (RL 3).
