Description: | Cathcart, Glasgow Scotland, UK Damaged wood with one live larva and one dead one were brought into the museum as an enquiry, July 2008. Two other adult beetles had already emerged and been let go. The larva was kept in the wood inside a jar and this adult emerged September 2009. It is a known pest of Oriental seasoned timber. In common with other longhorn beetles they can spend many years in wood, hollowing out the inside with no external evidence of their presence until emergence holes appear. The feeding channels are packed with the fine frass (droppings) produced by the larvae. The adult could be identified to species as soon as it appeared. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ARTHINSECT : COLEOPTERA : CERAMBYCIDAE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
