jreidsma Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Broadnecked root borer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagtacus Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 maybe longhorn beetle? i think it is longhorn beetle too but there is way too many species to go through, my personal opinion is to check the species where your located first, most likely it's correct but not definitely, i am not good at identify US species. i am curious do you find other type of native longhorn beetles.

jreidsma Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 if you try to breed it, longhorn are difficult to breed as general but there are info at the university. Sounds like they would be they burrow into rotting wood or live plants. But they may be the broad necked borers, and if so then the larva feed on roots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagtacus Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Sounds like they would be they burrow into rotting wood or live plants. But may be the broad necked borers probably living trees, government are very nervous when they hear longhorn beetles, especially asian longhorn beetle, if you see them you know who to call. The BEETLE BUSTERS, i'm not afraid of longhorn beetles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
