Insect Families

Cerambycidae is the family of longhorn beetles, one of the largest beetle families, distinguished by long antennae often as long as or longer than the body. The family includes the genus Anoplophora, and its larvae typically bore into wood, making several species significant pests of forest and ornamental trees when introduced outside their native range.
