This longhorn beetle(order Coleoptera, family Cerambycidae) can be found in southeast Asia. The Cerambycidae are renowned as timber pests, and the larvae bore in living trees, usually deep in the wood, sometimes causing the death of the host trees. The adults are large robust beetles, although a few small slender species are known, who sometimes do some damage to trees by gnawing off patches of bark. The larvae are legless with a well-developed head and round thorax, consequently they make round or cyclindrical tunnels in the tree branches or trunk. As the larvae tunnel through the wood, they make small holes to the exterior at intervals and push out quantities of frass-this consists of their faecal pellets tog
