Measurements of insect length normally exclude legs, jaws, or horns, but if jaws are included, the longest known specimen of M. cervicornis is 17.7 cm; the longest known specimen of Dynastes hercules, a beetle species with enormous horns, is 17.5 cm, [2] [3] and the longest known beetle excluding either jaws or horns is Titanus giganteus, at 16 ...
The proportion of longhorn beetle species that act as pollinators is unknown. The fact that two species of longhorn species from distinct subfamilies ( Lepturinae and Cerambycinae ) found on different continents both with significant roles as pollinators could suggest that some capacity for pollination may be common among longhorn beetles.
The beetles' bodies are covered with small yellow hairs, [6] although one distinguishing feature of the species is two bald spots on its elytra. [7] Rhagium mordax has a long, narrow head with a distinct neck. The insect's face bears a suture and the temples are elongate with some stiff hairs. The antennae are relatively short and the first ...

Rutpela maculata, the spotted longhorn, is a beetle species of flower longhorns of the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lepturinae. Varieties
The adult cottonwood borer is a large longhorn beetle with a black-and-white coloration and black antennae as long or longer than the body. [5] The white portions are due to microscopic masses of hair. [6] The larvae have legless, cylindrical, creamy-white bodies with a brown-to-black head and grow up to 38 millimetres (1.5 in) long.
C. scopolii. Cerambyx is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae (longhorn beetles). [1] [2] They are commonly known as capricorn beetles, as their strong, stout and curved antennae, each segment of which flares towards the tip, are reminiscent of the horns of an Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex) or "capricorn".
Moneilema, or cactus longhorn beetles are a genus of large, flightless, black beetles found in North American deserts of the western United States and northern Mexico. M. gigas is native to the Sonoran Desert at elevations below 4900 feet (1500m). [ 1 ]
