Rhagium mordax
One of the appropriately named Longhorn Beetles, of which some 60 species are UK resident.Longhorns belong to the Cerambycidae family and are amongst the most easily recognised beetles. However, in some cases, specific species identification can be quite difficult, whilst others are more obvious. Rhagium mordax is probably fairly common and widespread across much of the UK. The one pictured was found in early June 2007 at Warsop Wood in Nottinghamshire.
