Often on the street, especially in the evening, we found a beetle with long antennae.This insect fast enough, so to catch his appearance and see the whole and all the details do not always have time.The reason for his quickness is clear: sometimes delay may cost the life of the insect, so he is trying as quickly as possible to escape from the person detection.However, the black beetle with long antennae is very beautiful, so many fans would like to know his name and to get as much information about it.Well, satisfy curiosity and tell all about these insects.
Surely every one of you at least once in my life heard of the so-called "barbel" or "Lumberjack."It must be said that the family is perhaps the most numerous (according to preliminary estimates about 26 thousand species) in the world of insects, so dwells on almost every continent.Is that not in Antarctica.These insects are small enough to become famous and popular thanks to its segmented mustache, which may exceed their own body length in time (usually 2-3 times).
should be noted that the beetle with long antennae, or, in other words, barbel - the insect, which still continues to amaze scientists.Almost every year experts of a continent are finding new species.Another feature of the long-horned beetles, which are not acquainted with the scientists to finish - this time arrives.Some claim that the beetle with long antennae appeared for a long time, and to date only evolved.Others assert that the form itself is brand new and recently opened, so live for a few million years before us, he could not.We can only guess, and wait for new discoveries that can tell us about this amazing insect, beetle with very long mustaches.
As has been described above, the long-horned beetles are found on almost every continent, except Antarctica.Thus, many species present on the territory of Russia, Canada, Brazil and Europe.It is worth noting that the best long-horned beetles feel equatorial, subtropical and tropical zones, therefore the maximum number of falls on Brazil, that is South America.
Males differ from females long antennae and jaws.Males usually jaw pushed forward a bit more square-shaped, while females have a rounded nose, jaw and smaller antennae.It feeds on beetle with long antennae mainly bark.It is not that they are too much harm to the flora, since a large amount of time spent at the bottom and picking up leaves, larvae and various other bugs and spiders smaller.Original
considered and "talk" Barbel, who in case of danger emit some hripyasche-sniffing sounds.If we draw an analogy, that a sound can be compared only with a piece of rusty metal on which is carried out for at least a rusty nail.And the sound is played at a low enough frequency that the human ear can hear.
