Abstract

A study on Trinodes rufescens in historical wooden buildings was conducted to examine the habitats of their larvae, the time of the appearance of their adults, and their feeding habits. Sediment samples were collected from wooden crossbars surrounding the main hall of a historical wooden building in Ishikawa Prefecture. The time of the appearance of their adults and their feeding habits were surveyed at temples in Chiba Prefecture.<br> Large numbers of T. rufescens in different stages (adult, larva and pupa) were detected in the sediments.<br> The time of adult appearance is estimated to be around April to the end of July. It seems that adults of T. rufescens feed on dead bodies of insects and other organisms in natural environment, because the hatched adults aggregated to dried bonito powder, and because adults aggregated to dead bodies of coleopterans at temples in Chiba Prefecture.
