Long-Horned Beetle

Long-Horned Beetle (Order Coleoptera Family Cerambycidae)

There are over 1200 species of Long-Horned Beetle in North America. Most have cylindrical bodies with back sweeping antennae, 3 times longer then their bodies. They range in size from 6 to 75 mm. Often brightly coloured, they feed on flowers, wood, roots or leaves. Both the larvae and adult Long- Horned Beetle bore into wood, leaving a trace of sawdust around a hole in the bark.
