Habitat Preferences of White-clouded longhorn beetle Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of white-clouded longhorn beetle are typically laid in the crevices of dead or dying trees, where the larvae also reside as they bore through the wood, which provides both their habitat and food source. As they develop into pupae, they continue to dwell within the wooden tunnels they've created. To find these stages, inspecting the trunks and branches of such trees is essential. Adult white-clouded longhorn beetle emerge from the trees and are frequently found on or near their host tree species, displaying a preference for hardwood forests. Searching for adults might involve visiting these woods and observing tree trunks, foliage, and flowers where they might feed or mate.

How and Where Can You Find White-clouded longhorn beetle at Different Life Stages
Larva White-clouded longhorn beetle larvae are typically wood-boring and can be found within dead or dying trees, stumps, or logs. To find them, look for exit holes in the wood or frass (wooden excretions) indicative of their presence and carefully check under the bark and within the wood.
Pupal White-clouded longhorn beetle pupae are transitioning stages and are usually concealed in the same wooden environments as larvae. To locate them, search in the layers just beneath the bark or in the wood close to where larvae were found.
Adult White-clouded longhorn beetle adults are often found on the surfaces of trees, near the wooden habitat of their younger stages. They may also be drawn to lights at night. To locate adults, survey tree trunks or use light traps during evening hours.

Forestry Pest

When present in small numbers, white-clouded longhorn beetle larvae bore into stems, causing modest disruptions. However, a heavy infestation leads to severe weakening of plant structures, significant dieback, and potential tree mortality. This damage can disturb forest ecosystems and timber production, indirectly affecting human industries reliant on these resources.
