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 Asian long-horned beetle is native to eastern Asia, primarily in eastern China and Korea.This species was known from Japan in the mid-1800s, [4] but may or may not be native there.
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 valley elderberry longhorn beetle (Desmocerus californicus dimorphus) is a subspecies of longhorn beetle native to the riparian forests of the Central Valley of California from Redding to Bakersfield.

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 ]
The species are adults from mid-June through late-August. Mating occurs at sunset. Females oviposit eggs in clusters into crevices in the thick bark. One female can lay up to 800 eggs. Larvae hatch 2–3 weeks after oviposition and feed under the bark. After 4–6 weeks larvae enter the wood through oval holes and dig tunnels of 6–7 mm in width.
