Life Cycle of Beige long-horned beetle
Egg The egg is the initial stage of beige long-horned beetle, often laid in clusters. The eggs are small, oval, and may vary in color. During this stage, the embryo develops, showing no external features of later stages.
Larva In this stage, beige long-horned beetle appears worm-like with a soft, elongated body. As it grows, it molts several times. Larvae primarily focus on feeding and growing, lacking wings and reproductive structures.
Pupal During pupation, beige long-horned beetle is encased in a protective cocoon or shell. Significant transformation occurs as the larval form reorganizes into an adult. The pupa is usually immobile and vulnerable.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult beige long-horned beetle has developed wings and reproductive organs. Its body is now hardened and distinctly segmented, adapted for mobility, dispersal, and reproduction.

Habitat Preferences of Beige long-horned beetle Through Different Life Stages
Eggs of beige long-horned beetle are typically laid on the bark of hardwood trees, where tiny larvae emerge and tunnel into the wood. The larvae, as they grow, create intricate galleries within the tree's living or dead tissues, feeding on the sapwood. In the pupal stage, which occurs within these wooden tunnels, the insect is immobile and transforms into its adult form. Thus, to observe these various stages, one must carefully inspect the trunks and branches of hardwood trees. Adults of beige long-horned beetle usually are found on or near the trees where they grew up, often on the bark or leaves. They are also known to visit flowers for feeding, which can be an alternative place to search for them.

When is the Best Time to Observe Beige long-horned beetle
The best time to find beige long-horned beetle would likely be during the warmer months when adults are most active and visible.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Beige long-horned beetle
Dry, warm weather would be suitable for finding beige long-horned beetle as they are less active in cold or rainy conditions.

How and Where Can You Find Beige long-horned beetle at Different Life Stages
Larva Beige long-horned beetle larvae are found within the wood of trees or decaying logs. To locate them, search for trees with boreholes, sawdust-like frass, or listen for the sound of larvae chewing wood.
Pupal Beige long-horned beetle pupae would be located inside the wood where the larvae were feeding. Finding them would involve carefully cutting into infested wood and looking for the pupal chambers.
Adult Beige long-horned beetle adults are easiest to find as they are active and may be seen on the surface of the wood, near the larval feeding sites, or on the foliage. Look for them on sunny days, by visually scanning tree trunks, branches, and leaves.

Forestry Pest

The larval stage of beige long-horned beetle causes mild to severe damage to forests by boring into stems and roots, affecting tree health and potentially leading to tree death. Infestations can reduce commercial value and impair forests as habitats and carbon sinks, while severe infestations can necessitate costly management or lead to losses in timber production.
