Longhorn beetles

Longhorn beetles or capricorn beetles have long feelers. The beetle itself is very big.

The male of a capricorn beetle is black and its female is red-brown. These beetles live in old forests where there are many oak trees.

It is interesting to know that adult beetles do not eat anything while their young larva feed on the wood of these old trees. They make wide sinuous passages in the stem. After that, the young larva converts into a chrysalis and later on the last becomes a beetle.
