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.

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 ...
They are shiny black with about 20 white spots on each wing cover and long antennae conspicuously banded black and white. These beetles can fly, but generally only for short distances, which is a common limitation for Cerambycidae of their size and weight.
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 ]
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.
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.
Moneilema semipunctatum is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. [1] It was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1852. [1] It is known commonly as the cactus borer beetle. Beetles of genus Moneilema are known commonly as cactus longhorn beetles. [2] It is native to North America, where it occurs in the western United States and ...
