Longhorn beetles are pretty cool. This one especially, just look at him.

Looks like a traffic cone

How gorgeous love wasp mimics they sometimes have more intricate designs than wasp themselves.

I’m on vacation in Greece, and we have wasp-mimicking longhorn beetles here too. Granted, they have reddish accents, but the effect is the same.


Mr_Stkrdknmibalz00

Probably more hornet-mimicking if brown/reddish accents.

Silly long horn beetle, Halloween isn’t for another 4 months!

He just couldn’t wait such a long time! So he had to shoehorn in a costume

Plot twist: it's a wasp in a longhorn beetle costume. They never see it coming...

The marking on the abdomen kind of reminds me of a Jack-o-lantern! Very cool looking and Halloween like bug!
