Apriona germari (also known as the mulberry longhorn beetle) [1] is a species of beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae, found in India, through Southeast Asia, to southern China. [2] It is mostly yellow in colour. [3]
Mulberry harbours were temporary portable harbours developed by the United Kingdom during the Second World War to facilitate the rapid offloading of cargo onto beaches during the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. After the Allies successfully held beachheads following D-Day, two prefabricated harbours were taken in sections across the English Channel from the UK with the invading army and assembled off Omaha Beach and Gold Beach.
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described, slightly more than half from the Eastern Hemisphere. Most species are characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. In various members of the family, however, the antennae are quite short and such species can be difficult to distinguish from related beetle families such as the Chrysomelidae. The scientific name of this beetle family goes back to a figure from Greek mythology: after an argument with nymphs, the shepherd Cerambus was transformed into a large beetle with horns.
The citrus long-horned beetle is a long-horned beetle native to Japan, China, Korea, and Southeast Asia where it is considered a serious pest. Several countries in Europe had been infested with this insect in the past, including Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, France, Germany, and Croatia.
Batocerini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Apriona is a genus of longhorn beetles in the subfamily Lamiinae.
Omoglymmius is a genus of wrinkled bark beetles in the family Carabidae, found on every continent except Africa and Antarctica. There are at least 150 species in Omoglymmius.
Derobrachus hovorei is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, known variously as the palo verde beetle, palo verde root borer, or palo verde borer beetle. For over 100 years, this species was confused with the related species Derobrachus geminatus, and only recognized and given its own name by Santos-Silva in 2007; essentially all literature prior to 2007 therefore incorrectly uses the name geminatus for this species. It is a longhorn beetle native to the American Southwest and northern Mexico which derives its common name from the palo verde tree, and it is one of the largest beetles in North America, reaching up to three and a half inches in length. Adults are black or brown in colour, have long antennae, and spines on the thorax. They have wings and can fly, albeit awkwardly at times. Mature beetles emerge in the summer to mate. Adults do not eat, and rely solely on their energy reserves until they die in about one month. While not harmful to humans, they can bite in self-defense.
