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.
Tetropium fuscum, the brown spruce longhorn beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. [1] It was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1787.

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 harlequin beetle (Acrocinus longimanus) is a large and distinctly colored species of longhorn beetle from the Neotropics and the only member of the genus Acrocinus. [1]It is given its English name because of the elaborate pattern of black, orange-red and greenish-yellow markings in both sexes; [1] [2] despite this the beetle is quite well-camouflaged when perched on a lichen or fungus ...
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 ]
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".
Phoracantha semipunctata was initially observed in the late 1980s in Setubal Portugal. [2] The beetle is classified as a species within the Phoracantha genus, situated within the Phoracanthini tribe of beetles under the Cerambycinae subfamily, which it shares with 11 other genera including Coptocercus, Allotisis, Thoris, Epithora, Skeletodes, Atesta, Paratesta, Steata, Coleocoptus, Phytrocaria ...
Rutpela maculata, the spotted longhorn, is a beetle species of flower longhorns of the family Cerambycidae, ... completing their life cycle in two-three years. [3]
