Life Cycle of Transverse long-horned beetle
Egg The egg stage for transverse long-horned beetle begins with the deposition of eggs by the adult female. These eggs are small and are often laid in protected locations. The developing embryos inside are not visible to the naked eye.
Larva Upon hatching, the larvae of transverse long-horned beetle emerge feeding voraciously, often on plant material. They lack wings, are worm-like in appearance, and may vary in color. Growth is accompanied by a series of molts.
Pupal After the larval stage, transverse long-horned beetle enters into the pupal stage, transitioning within a cocoon. During this period, drastic transformation occurs, forming adult structures. The pupa is generally immobile.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult transverse 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.

Habitat Preferences of Transverse long-horned beetle Through Different Life Stages
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.
Rectangle
When is the Best Time to Observe Transverse long-horned beetle
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.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Transverse long-horned beetle
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.

How and Where Can You Find Transverse long-horned beetle at Different Life Stages
Larva Transverse long-horned beetle larvae are wood-borers and can typically be found in dead or decaying trees. Look for their presence by identifying trees with exit holes or sawdust-like frass around the base.
Pupal Transverse long-horned beetle pupae develop within the wood where larvae fed. Finding transverse long-horned beetle in this stage involves carefully cutting into infested wood to reveal the pupal chambers, but this should be done sparingly to prevent harm to the species.
Adult Transverse long-horned beetle adults can often be spotted on or around host plants. Look for transverse long-horned beetle on warm, sunny days when they are most likely to be active, by carefully examining the bark and leaves of trees, especially where sap or damaged wood is present, which could attract them.
