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.
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 ...
Prionus laticollis, also known as the broad-necked root borer or broad necked prionus, is a root-boring longhorn beetle described by Dru Drury in 1773. [1] [2] It is widespread throughout eastern North America: its range covers a vast swath from Quebec in the northeast to Arkansas in the southwest.
The beetles' bodies are covered with small yellow hairs, [6] although one distinguishing feature of the species is two bald spots on its elytra. [7] Rhagium mordax has a long, narrow head with a distinct neck. The insect's face bears a suture and the temples are elongate with some stiff hairs. The antennae are relatively short and the first ...
Arhopalus rusticus is a species of beetle also known as the "Long-Horn Beetle" in the family Cerambycidae. [1] It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae . [ 1 ]
The members of the Cerambycidae (Longhorn Beetles) family are named for their long antennae, sometimes exceedingly so. The antennae of males are usually longer than those of females, and often the antennae are attached to the head in a strange notch at the front of the eye. Styloxus fulleri is a smaller species, at about 12–13 mm in length.
Rutpela maculata, the spotted longhorn, is a beetle species of flower longhorns of the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lepturinae. Varieties
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 ]
