It is frequently seen rambling over plants in hedges, and at 
Tynemouth, in September, it has been found feeding on the seeds 
of Centaurea nigra; having thrust itself into the centre of the 
capitula, or “hard-heads” as they are termed, till it was almost 
concealed. In winter and cold weather it descends deeply into 
the soil. In its structure and habits it has a strong affinity with 
Zabrus.
