jreidsma Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Posted November 16, 2012 Broadnecked root borer? Quote
stagtacus Posted November 17, 2012 Report 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.

They are in Rhode Island Quote
stagtacus Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 They are in Rhode Island how big is the beetle and what month did you find it and its important for you to know what species it is. Quote
jreidsma Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Posted November 17, 2012 I will ask them, I was not the one who caught these as I am in Michigan Quote
stagtacus Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 Broadnecked root borer? you might be right. Quote
stagtacus Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 I will ask them, I was not the one who caught these as I am in Michigan if you try to breed it, longhorn are difficult to breed as general but there are info at the university. Quote
jreidsma Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report 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
stagtacus Posted November 17, 2012 Report 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
