Goliathus Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Attached photos - larval bore holes of the large prionine cerambycid Mallodon (Stenodontes) dasystomus in a dead ash tree. I see the bore holes much more often than the beetles. The larvae are still active in these particular ones - fresh wood shavings are still being pushed through.

JKim Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Great images! I occasionally collected this species and couple other Prionine species, and reared to emergence. They are.... nice and were interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
