A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Eburia quadrigeminata
A brownish long horn beetle with 4 distinct white dots. This kind of beetle is a borer.
The adults come to rotting fruit, which I put out for butterflies. this one had taken shelter inside the closed umbrella. This is a wildlife habitat garden with many native plants.
Hosts include a wide variety of hardwoods (oak, ash, hickory, locust, chestnut, maple, elm, beech, cherry). Notorious for emerging from furniture after as many as 10-40 yrs.
