Since some representatives of the intestinal microbiota of A. solstitiale are able to inhibit the growth of Xenorhabdus and Photorhrhabdus bacteria in vitro, it can be assumed that this type of bacterial interaction may occur at certain stages of insect infection by Steinernema or Heterorhabditis nematodes.

The subterranean larvae feed on roots, rhizomes and tubers, mostly of grasses and herbaceous plants but also on trees and shrubs, they may develop over several years and in many species regular or sporadic massive populations of adults occur. They are found throughout the Palearctic region (and North America) and, commonly seen from June to August, living in meadows, hedgerows, and gardens, and eating plants and tree foliage. More commonly known as the Summer Chafer, the adults are usually found flying around the tops of trees etc, but the one Euchrinae Hope, 1840 or Pachypodinae Erichson, 1840, but generally it will be found to include between 20 and 30 tribes and around 12000 species in about 800 genera.
