Gnoma luzonica
Gnoma luzonica Erichson 1834, originally described as G. luzonicum (family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lamiinae, tribe Gnomini). It is known from the Philippines. Cerambycidae's larvae are called roundheaded borers. Lamiinae adults are commonly called flat-faced longhorns. The empty eggshells beside the longhorn in photos 2 & 3 are those of the Giant Stink Bug, Pygoplatys longiceps (Tessaratomidae).
