The family Cerambycidae, commonly known as longhorn beetles, includes a diverse group of beetles characterized by their long antennae, which can be longer than their bodies. These insects are typically found in wooded areas, where they play a crucial role in the ecosystem by decomposing dead and decaying wood.
Longhorn beetles undergo complete metamorphosis, with life stages including egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The larvae often tunnel through wood, which can sometimes lead to damage in trees and wooden structures. There are over 30,000 species of Cerambycidae worldwide, showcasing a wide range of colors and patterns.
