| One of the appropriately named Longhorn Beetles, of which some 60 species are UK resident. Longhorns belong to the Cerambycidae family. They are among the most easily recognised beetles, but specific species identification can be quite difficult. Agapanthia villosoviridescens is a large and impressive species, nearly always found on Hogweeds and other low vegetation. Quite a common beetle. | ||
