Neoclytus acuminatus, the red-headed ash borer, is a common North American species in the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). Red-headed ash borers typically reach 12–16 mm adult length, have long antennae which are thickened towards the tips, and have the rear and middle pairs of legs elongated. The reddish-brown coloration with four bands of contrasting yellow hair and the general body shape mimics wasps, which is a common survival tactic among cerambycids. Order: Coleoptera, Family: Cerambycidae, Subfamily: Cerambycinae, Species: Neoclytus acuminatus (Fabricius, 1775) |
