Small Longhorn Beetle Close Up (Five Macro Photos)

in #macrophotography6 years ago (edited)

I haven't posted for a couple of days as I've been having problems with my camera's card reader. I think I have it sorted (new cable) and I've managed to get some photos off the card.

This is a fairly small (16mm) Longhorn beetle came to my light last night. Longhorns, also known as Longicorns, belong to the family Cerambycidae. I'm not sure on the ID as yet but it looks similar to Phacodes personatus. Any coleopterists out their are welcome to help :-)
