Pine Sawyer
Monochamus galloprovincialis
This longhorn beetle inhabits conifer forests, especially areas with weakened, dying, or recently felled pine trees. Adults feed on bark, twigs, and needles, while females chew egg sites into suitable host wood. Its exceptionally long antennae help it detect mates and navigate among branches.
