📖 1. Overview

The white-striped longhorn beetle (Batocera lineolata, also called Jolchamnamu-haneulso in Korean) is a large longhorn beetle densely covered with short yellow hairs, living in southern Korea, Geoje Island, and Jeju Island, as well as China, Japan, and Taiwan.

🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology

Body length is 45 to 52 mm, with dense short yellow hairs over a black or blackish-brown background. The 2 rectangular markings in the center of the pronotum and the markings on the elytra are white, and the male's antennae are nearly 2 times its body length.

🔍 3. Ecology & Behavior

It emerges once every 2 to 3 years, taking 2 to 4 years to develop from egg to adult. Adults are active from May to August, and both larvae and adults gnaw on tree bark and inner wood.
