California Prionus
Prionus californicus
The adult is a large longhorn beetle found in western North American woodlands, grasslands, gardens, and orchards. It is mostly nocturnal, with males flying in search of females and often coming to lights. Adults feed little or not at all compared with the root-feeding larval stage. Its long antennae and sturdy body make it one of the more conspicuous prionine beetles in its range.
