The Living Forest (279) : Spotted Longhorn

The Spotted Longhorn is a well-marked beetle with a variable pattern of black and yellow markings as a rough imitation of a wasp, which probably gives him some protection from birds.

This species is usually found along hedgerows and woodland margins where it is most often seen on Hawthorn or umbel flowers.

Dutch name : Gevlekte smalbok
German name : Gefleckter Schmalbock
Latin name : Rutpela maculata (formerly Strangalia maculata)
