Field Notes
Description:
A small longicorn beetle about 20 mm in length. Spikey thorax and pitted elytra with distinctive pale "V"-shaped markings. Antennae were the length of the body and held back.
Habitat:
Near eucalytus trees
Notes:
This is one of the smaller longicorns. I am not able to identify the species but it is a eucalypt longicorn and considered a pest as it is a wood borer.
