Large antennae on a longhorn beetle. Antennae (sg.: antenna) (sometimes referred to as "feelers") are paired appendages used for sensing in arthropods. Antennae are connected to the first one or two segments of the arthropod head. They vary widely in form but are always made of one or more jointed segments.
Batocera laena is a huge long-horn beetle reaching about 45–60 millimetres (1.8–2.4 in) of length. The length of the antenna may reach about 120 millimetres (4.7 in). The length of the antenna may reach about 120 millimetres (4.7 in).
Batocera wallacei is a huge long-horn beetle reaching about 80–85 millimetres (3.1–3.3 in) of length in the males, while the females are smaller. The length of the antenna may reach about 215–230 millimetres (8.5–9.1 in) in the males. The basic colour of the body is greenish-brownish or grey with whitish dorsal patches on the elytra.
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.
Arhopalus ferus, commonly known as the burnt pine longhorn beetle, [2] is a species of long horn beetle, of the order Coleoptera. It was first described by French entomologist Étienne Mulsant in 1839.
The colors and markings of these longhorn beetles are very variable (hence the Latin name of the species). The coloration may be blue, dark green, greyish green or reddish brown, with white, pale blue, yellow or ochreous markings. Usually a wide, ochreous transverse band partially covers the pronotum and the elytra.

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.
