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, although in
Nottinghamshire we have failed to find it anywhere other
than Warsop Wood in early June 2007 and late March 2013. |
