A distinctive longhorn beetle species native to European temperate forests, characterized by bright red coloration and elongated antennae. Member of the Cerambycidae family within Coleoptera order.
Deciduous and mixed forests across Europe, particularly prevalent in woodland areas with mature trees in countries like Germany, France, Austria, and Scandinavian regions. Altitude range: 0-1500 meters above sea level.
Plays crucial role in forest ecosystem decomposition, wood recycling, and serving as prey for predatory birds and small mammals. Larvae contribute to wood decay processes by tunneling through dead or decaying timber.
