Cerambycidae, a COLEOPTERA insect, has more than 20,000 species in the world. It has chewing mouthparts and long antennae, which are usually longer than the body. Cerambycidae is a herbivorous insect, which mainly feeds on pollen, tender bark, fruits, fungi, etc. Among them, Cerambycidae often feeds on pollen, and Cerambycidae likes to eat tender bark, tender branches and leaves, and fruit trees and fruits are also favorite foods for Cerambycidae.
Anoplophora longicorn generally overwinters in the trunk in the form of larvae or adults, and the life span of adults is short, generally only more than ten days. Female Anoplophora longicorn will bite the bark with her upper jaw, then insert the oviposition tube into the trunk, and then discharge the eggs. After the eggs hatch into larvae, they will eat under the bark.
Feeding method of longicorn beetle
1, prepare the container
Long-horned beetles like to grow parasitically in wood, which is very boring. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a transparent and sealed box in the breeding process, or use a wooden box with tight connections between boards to provide a good growth environment for long-horned beetles.
2. Provide drinking water
Although the demand for water for longicorn beetles is not high, it is necessary to regularly sprinkle water into the box to ensure humidity, or put a water-absorbing sponge in the wooden box to create a humid environment for longicorn beetles to dry up and die.
3. Temperature environment
Anoplophora longicorn is not suitable for growing in low temperature environment, so the temperature should be controlled above 15 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is too low in winter, the box should be wrapped with cotton cloth to prevent the Anoplophora longicorn from being frozen and moving slowly.
