📖 1. Overview

The Asian longhorned beetle is a longhorn beetle living in Gangwon-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Gyeonggi-do whose larvae bore into living maple and willow trees, causing them to wither and die.

🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology

Adults are 25–33 mm in body length, black and elongated, with white or pale yellow spots scattered on the wing covers. The antennae are about 2 times the body length in males and about 1.3 times in females.

🔍 3. Ecology & Behavior

Adults are diurnal and active from June to August, found on living willows and maples. According to ADW, females lay an average of about 32 eggs one at a time, and adults usually fly within 75 m but can fly up to 1,200 m.
