Longhorn Beetle
Anaglyptus mysticus

This distinctively marked Longhorn Beetle (Cerambycidae) is reputedly a common species throughout the UK. However there are not many Shropshire records for this beetle and it appears to be much less common than some other longhorn beetles.

Longhorn beetle larvae live in timber, either living or dead timber.
