Longhorn Beetle

The Longhorn Beetle has over 1,100 species in America alone. Their name is based on their antennae which are quite long and resemble horns. Sometimes the horns are three times longer than the body of the beetle. The beetles are wider at the ‘shoulders’ and taper at the tip of the abdomen. Their antennae are black in color and segmented most of the time. Depending on the species, they can be attracted to flowers, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, or several varieties of hard wood and softwood trees. Most adults are active in the day and can be found in large numbers on flowers, stems of vegetable plants or on the trunks and branches of trees.
