$The musk beetle (Aromia moschata) is a Eurasian species of longhorn beetle belonging to the subfamily Cerambycinae, tribe Callichromatini. Its name comes from the delicate musky smell it emits when menaced.\nDescription:\nThis beetle is characterised by very long antennae (like all other Cerambycids and a somewhat coppery or greenish metallic tint. The typical form, characterised by a pronotum with a metallic color, is widespread in Europe, except for most of Spain and Southern Italy. In such regions, in North Africa, and in Asia to Japan, the species is represented by some subspecies characterised by a more or less red pronotum. The antennae are longer than the entire head and body length in male and as long as body in females. Nevertheless, the Oriental subspecies have usually shorter antennae. \nBiology:\nThe adults are usually found on leaves, especially those of the willow trees, where the larva of this species lives. The secretion with the characteristic musky smell is produced in thoracic glands, and is expelled through openings located on the distal part of the metasternum, near the hind legs articulation. The secretion was formerly supposed to contain salicylaldehyde or a salicylic ether, but there is now evidence that it consists instead mainly of four different monoterpenes, among which rose oxide, one of the most important fragrances in perfumery (source Wikipedia). \n\nThis Picture is made in a Marsh Region in the Netherlands, where Willows are growing.$

$Cortodera humeralis is a species of longhorn beetle in the Cerambycidae family.\nCharacteristics:\nThe beetles become 8 to 11 millimeters long and have a variable body coloration. A dark color variant occurs, the elytra of which are black or brown in color and each has two, rarely only one yellowish spot on the shoulder. The light colour variant has yellow-brown elytra, with a dark elytra seam. \nOccurrence and way of life:\nThey are found in large parts of Europe, but are absent in northern Europe and the British Isles. They inhabit deciduous forests and occur in May and June. Adults are often found sitting on bushes or flowering oaks. The larvae develop in deadwood in soil litter, in fungal fallen wood and also in dead, near-surface roots of deciduous trees (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a long weekend in the South of Belgium in June 2006.$

$Leptura quadrifasciata, the spotted longhorn beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. \nAdult beetles are 11–20 mm long, black with four more or less continuous transverse yellow bands. In extreme cases the elytra may be almost entirely black. It is found throughout the Northern and Central Palaearctic region. \nLarvae make meandering galleries in various trees, including oak, beech, birch, willow, alder, elder and spruce. The life cycle lasts two or three years.\nThe adults are very common flower-visitors, especially Apiaceae species, feeding on pollen and the nectar (source Wikipedia). \n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands on the described Habitats.$
