Longhorn beetles, belonging to the family Cerambycidae, are known for their long antennae, which can be even longer than their bodies. These insects are typically found in wooded areas, where they play a crucial role in breaking down dead and decaying wood. They come in various colors and sizes, with some species exhibiting striking patterns.
The larvae of longhorn beetles are wood-borers, meaning they live inside and feed on wood. This behavior can sometimes lead to damage in trees and wooden structures. Adult longhorn beetles are often attracted to light and can be seen during warm months, making them a common sight in gardens and forests.
