Summary

[edit]
Description

Keep your eyes and ears open for the white-spotted sawyer beetle. A type of wood-boring beetle, their larvae are commonly found in rotting or newly cut wood. Adults prefer to eat the needles and twigs of living evergreens. The noise they make when eating can be described as rhythmic "sawing."

Sometimes mistaken for the invasive Asian long-horned beetle, the native sawyer beetle can be identified by the white dot on the top of its back found between its wing covers. If you look closely at this image, you can see the edge of this beetle's white spot.
