Asian long-horned Beetle

Beautiful specimen! Please note this is a longhorned beetle and it is in Asia but it is NOT the "Asian longhorned beetle" we in America call Anoplophora glabripennis, and it is also not Graphisurus fasciatus, a much smaller, blander looking American species of longhorn.

Hey everyone!! The Asian Longhorned Beetle is an INVASIVE PEST from China and Korea. In the USA, Department of Agriculture has launched a massive effort to eradicate it from North America. See this link. Notify your local authorities if it is not native to your country. http://www.beetlebusters.info/

You're welcome Viv! I'm envious of all your wildlife - things are pretty quite here in Tennessee now apart from the occasional moth! I'm really looking forward to spring though & keeping my fingers crossed that the 80 plus trees we planted this year will attract lots more critters!

Very impressive antennae!
