These +<\/u> 3 mm large Xke<\/wbr>fresh belong to China and Korea. These long-horned beetles are now found all over the world due to the international trade in wood and plants. They sometimes hitchhike with the wooden packing material.
\nThe beetle is black with prominent white spots and has long, striped feelers.
\nLong-horned beetles can cause a lot of damage to shrubs, deciduous and coniferous trees. The tree species the Long-horned beetle favors are called ALB- (A<\/em>sian L<\/em>onghorned B<\/em>eetle) host trees in the United States. The damage occurs because the worm-like larvae of the citrus long-horned beetle burrow tunnels into healthy, live trees. This is in contrast to the larvae of many other beetles that prey on dead wood. Burrowing tunnels in healthy wood affects the structure of the wood, allowing branches to spontaneously break off.<\/p>\n

Citrus long-horned beetle quarantine measures are in place in the EU, the United States and the UK to prevent permanent settlement.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Where to find” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}”][vc_column_text el_id=”entrytxt” el_class=”entrytxt” css=”.vc_custom_1689780916137{padding-left: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
