The head and pronotum are black colored and the abdomen has a black background color horizontally crossed by yellow stripes.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stenopterus rufus sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 619th most-seen of the 1406 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stenopterus rufus in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Vienna's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain against 40 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Stenopterus rufus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Stenopterus rufus sightings, Vienna ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Barcelona (Spain, about 10%), Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%) and Bucharest (Romania, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stenopterus rufus is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (18 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
