What is a "long-horned beetle"?

A long-horned beetle is a type of beetle characterized by its long antennae, which can be as long as or even longer than its body. They are known for their diverse range of sizes, colors, and patterns, but typically have elongated bodies and prominent mandibles. These beetles are often found in forests, woodlands, and gardens, where they play important roles in decomposition and nutrient cycling. While some species are considered pests as they can damage trees and timber, others are valued for their aesthetic appeal and are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
