Borer beetles are wood-boring insects belonging to the family Cerambycidae and other related families. They are known for their larvae, which tunnel into the wood of trees and plants, causing damage. These beetles are often found in dead or dying trees, where they lay their eggs, and the larvae feed on the wood as they develop. The adult borer beetles are typically characterized by their elongated bodies and long antennae. They play a role in the ecosystem by helping to decompose dead wood, but their presence can also indicate the health of a forest. Effective management is essential to prevent infestations in valuable timber.
