Citrus Long-horned Beetle

Anoplophora chinensis

Citrus Long-horned Beetle

The adult is a glossy black long-horned beetle with pale spots and very long antennae, found on host trees in orchards, nurseries, parks, and woodland edges. It feeds on leaves, petioles, and young bark, while females chew small egg-laying scars near the base of trunks or exposed roots. Adults can fly to disperse between trees, though much of their activity is on bark and branches. A notable sign of infestation is the round exit hole left when the adult emerges from the wood.
