Field Notes

Description:

A great capricorn beetle (Cerambyx cerdo), spotted in my front porch, Volos Greece. The species has been categorized "Vulnerable" and the individual I found is probably a female. When I tried to remove it, it produced a low scriching sound!

I have made a mission Longhorns (Europe) but it has to grow in order to let me put a bigger range of just 300 km so Greece is still to far but one it will be bigger I want that one in my mission to ;)
