Asian Long-horned Beetle

Anoplophora glabripennis

Asian Long-horned Beetle

A large wood-boring beetle native to East Asia, often found on hardwood trees such as maples, poplars, willows, and elms. Adults feed on bark, leaves, and small twigs, while the larvae tunnel deep through living wood and can seriously damage trees. Its glossy black body with white spots and very long banded antennae make it distinctive. Because it can kill urban and forest trees, it is considered a major invasive pest in parts of North America and Europe.
