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.
Leptura quadrifasciata, the four-banded longhorn beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. [1] It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. [2] Adult beetles are 11–20 mm long, black with four more or less continuous transverse yellow bands.
Anoplophora chinensis – citrus long-horned beetle, a major pest; Anoplophora glabripennis – Asian long-horned beetle, an invasive pest species; Aridaeus thoracicus – tiger longicorn (Australia) Cacosceles newmannii - Southern African longhorn beetle that is a sugarcane pest; Derobrachus hovorei - palo verde beetle
From a distance, M. robiniae can easily be mistaken for a wasp or bee, due to its black and yellow striped pattern. It can also be mistaken for two closely related species: M. caryae and M. decora. The adult beetle can be 11 to 28 mm (0.43 to 1.10 in) long, and it has a W-shaped third stripe on the elytra. The antennae of both sexes are dark ...
Fine pubescence found all over the body. There is a pattern of maculae on prothorax and elytra. Head square-shaped and eyes are large. Antennae are pilose and longer than body. Prothorax is transverse with sinuate narrowly black, posterior margin. Scutellum is black colored and small. Outer elytral border is narrowly black. Legs are long, and ...
Adult beetles are 8–30 mm long reddish-brown to black, while males are generally smaller and lighter in colour. [3] [4] The body is elongated and oval, typical for longhorn beetles. The head angles forward, showing most of the mouth parts. The thread-like antennae are half to three-quarters of the body length, longer in males.
The adults grow up to 13–20 millimetres (0.51–0.79 in). The head and pronotum are dark-brown, while elytra are yellowish, with black dots and stripes, rough imitations of wasps, which probably gives them some protection from birds. [3]
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 ]
