Stripey Longhorn Beetle
A boldly patterned longhorn with white bands and patches on a dark background. It is found in tropical forests of Central and West Africa.
Did You Know?
Their striking pattern breaks up their body outline, making them surprisingly difficult to spot against lichen-covered bark.
Latticed Longhorn
A small wasp-mimicking cerambycid with a lattice-like pattern of yellow markings on its black elytra. It is widespread but local in European forests and hedgerows. Adults are most active in warm sunshine visiting flowers.
