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 ...
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.
Rhagium mordax, the black-spotted longhorn beetle, [1] is a species of long-horned beetle. [2] This beetle is found throughout Europe and to Kazakhstan and Russia. [2] Larvae develop in silver fir, hazel, European weeping birch, European beech, and the European chestnut. [2]

The antennae are about as long as the body. The head, pronotum and abdomen are black. The elytra are yellow-brown in males, with a black colored tip. In the females the elytra are reddish. The elytral suture is often black-colored, especially in the females, while the slender males have a darker tip and the black drawing is somewhat less ...
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.
Its numbers across Europe has greatly depleted in recent years, and it is a protected species in Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Slovakia. The adults are active from June to September. By day the beetles sit near flowers and feed on the pollen. They are able to make a chirping sound by scraping their rear legs and elytra together.
