Slovakia, Krupina region, patchy landscape with meadows and forest patches, 27 may 2020, the female (probably) laid eggs to the oak log on roadside landing.
In a literature, the species is described as ovipositing to cavities in overmature trees. However, this one did it into a oak log, even not fresh.

What do you think about this?

Best regards
