Transverse long-horned beetle

For trapping transverse long-horned beetle, one might use fermenting bait such as fruit or sap as these substances tend to attract them due to their need for food sources rich in sugar.

The larvae of transverse long-horned beetle are typically found within the decaying wood of hardwood trees, where they excavate tunnels as they feed. Searching for larvae involves carefully peeling away the bark of fallen logs or standing dead timber with signs of decay. The adult transverse long-horned beetle, on the other hand, are often seen on or near the same hardwood trees, especially during mating season. They can be spotted on the bark, foliage, or even flowers, as they are known to feed on sap and pollen. To encounter adults, one should inspect the trunks and branches of hardwoods, especially during warmer months when they are most active.

The suitable time to find adult transverse long-horned beetle is usually from late spring to early fall, as they are most active during warmer months and easier to spot.

Adult transverse long-horned beetle are more likely to be active on warm, sunny days following rain, which encourages them to fly and seek mates or food.
