Oak Longhorn

Carcina quercana


This colourful species has long antennae that stick out from the end of the body when it is at rest. For that reason It was formerly known as the 'Long-horned Flat-body.' It is active from July to October in oak and beech woodlands. The larvae feed on various deciduous trees.
