Bamboo Longhorn
A vivid metallic green longhorn beetle with a slender body and long antennae. It breeds exclusively in bamboo stems.
Did You Know?
It is so closely tied to bamboo that mass bamboo flowering and die-off events cause population booms followed by crashes.
Notch-Tipped Flower Longhorn
A yellow longhorn beetle with wavy dark bands across its elytra. It is a common flower visitor in eastern North American forests.
Did You Know?
Its color pattern varies so much that early entomologists described several variants as separate species.
