Two-banded longhorn beetle

Two-banded longhorn beetle

Rhagium bifasciatum

A species of Rhagium

Characterized by its elongated body and strikingly patterned wings, two-banded longhorn beetle is a robust inhabitant of temperate woodlands. This species undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis, with larvae developing in the decaying wood of coniferous trees, contributing to the ecological process of decomposition. As adults, they emerge with a preference for feeding on sap and plant tissues, which are vital for their survival during their brief adult stage.

Life Cycle of Two-banded longhorn beetle
Egg The embryonic phase involves an egg that is laid by the female two-banded longhorn beetle. It is generally oval and can vary in color. This is the inception of the insect’s life cycle.
Larva When the larva hatches, it's a grub-like, legless creature. It is primarily designed for feeding and growth, undergoing multiple molts to increase in size.
Pupal As a pupa, the two-banded longhorn beetle undergoes transformation within a protective casing. At this stage, internal reorganization leads to adult characteristics, though the insect is stationary.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult two-banded longhorn 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.

Forestry Pest

In its larval stage, two-banded longhorn beetle bores into stems and roots, primarily affecting coniferous forests. Infestations can range from mild to severe, with dense populations leading to weakening of trees, stunted growth, and even mortality. The damage compromises timber quality, affecting economic value, and may pose increased wildfire risks due to weakened forest health.
