On July 19th, 2014, numerous specimens of the longhorn beetle Chlorophorus varius were observed near Schweigen-Rechtenbach. The thermophilous species is known to occur from Europe (without the North) to Asia Minor, the Caucasus, Transcaucasia and North Iran. They develop 2-3 years in varius deciduous trees as well as in the stems of herbaceous plants. In Germany they are present in warm habitats only and can be found on meadows and at the edges of forests. Chlorophorus varius is regarded as critically endangered (RL 1).
