Interesting fact : These beetles are easily identifiable by their long antennas, which are most often longer than their bodies.
The largest of these beetles can have a body length of 16.7 cm. Quite a few of them are considered pests, especially the larvae, which once hatched bore directly into the wood, creating a lot of damage to living trees and timber. Many have vibrant colouring, and often mimic ants, bees and wasps.
