The beautiful Lilium bulbiferum, of the Liliaceae family. Feeding on its pollen and floral organs is the beetle Oxythyrea funesta, the Mediterranean spotted chafer. Adults appear early in the spring and grow up to 8-12 millimetres. Most specimens are black, with six white spots in two longitudinal rows, along with many additional ones. They are completely covered with white pubescence (easily visible in profile).
