Life Cycle of A long-horned beetle
Egg The egg stage of a long-horned beetle is the initial phase. The eggs are usually laid in secluded areas, often within plant tissues, and are characterized by their small, elongated shape and pale coloration.
Larva During the larval stage, a long-horned beetle resembles a grub, lacking wings and adult features. The larvae are typically cream-colored with a darker head, feeding voraciously, usually within wood, growing larger with each molt.
Pupal As a long-horned beetle enters the pupal stage, it encases itself in a cocoon or cell within the feeding material. This stage exhibits significant transformation; the creature's body is reorganized, forming wings and adult structures.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult a long-horned beetle’s development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction.

How and Where Can You Find A long-horned beetle at Different Life Stages
Larva Larvae of a long-horned beetle are typically wood-borers found inside dead or dying trees, stumps, or logs. Look for exit holes or sawdust-like frass around potential habitats.
Pupal Pupa of a long-horned beetle are usually found within the timber where the larvae develop. Carefully splitting open infested wood can sometimes reveal the pupae, but this may harm the creature.

Forestry Pest

A long-horned beetle is known for its indiscriminate infestation of tree species. Larvae damage trees by boring into stems, often causing structural weakening. In mild cases, the aesthetic value and growth of trees suffer, but in severe infestations, trees can die, affecting timber production and ecosystem health. Human concerns include loss of valuable forest resources and management costs.
