The 2 largest species of longhorn beetles of the genus Cerambyx: C. welenssi (L) & C. cerdo (R). Both reach ~6 cm & often occur together wherever oaks grow. They are rather common in southern Europe. Females shown from central Italy; males have even longer antennae #cerambycidae
New to UK longhorn beetle Oberea linearis!
Native to continental Europe. Presumably imported. Life cycle 2 years in hazel twigs.
Hackney Marshes seems to be a good place to find new species of longhorn.

By the time a non-native #beetle is recorded in the EU, another one is always on its way. Here's the latest:
Olenecamptus bilobus (Fabricius, 1801).
The paper documenting our findings will be out soon.
