Martin Harvey | After seeing/handling Stag Beetles the last few days he was a little fellow
Found this bit of info on them Quote: |
Size is about 1ins. 25mm in body length, and it would appear to eat flowers and foilage as an adult and the larvae feed inside the stems of thistle and Hogweed, and not the usual food of other longhorn species which make them generally a major pest of the forestry industry because the larve bore tunnels under the bark of large trees spoiling the timber and in enough numbers killing the tree.
| Its common name (sorry oxycera) is Golden-Bloomed Grey Long Horn Beetle |
