A distinctive longhorn beetle species native to European coniferous forests, characterized by its elongated body and prominent antennae. Part of the Cerambycidae family, this wood-boring beetle plays a crucial role in forest decomposition processes.
Primarily found in mature coniferous forests across Europe, particularly in regions with abundant dead or decaying wood such as spruce, pine, and fir forests. Typically inhabits woodland areas with temperatures ranging from 5-25°C.
Critical decomposer in forest ecosystems, facilitating wood decay and nutrient recycling. Larvae bore through dead wood, creating complex tunnels that contribute to forest nutrient cycling and providing microhabitats for other forest organisms.
