Lissonotus flavocinctus

Lissonotus flavocinctus is a species of longhorn beetle from the family Cerambycidae, known for its long antennae and characteristic beetle body shape. This beetle, like others in the Cerambycidae family, is involved in the decomposition process of wood, with its larvae feeding on decaying trees. The body coloration varies but often includes a distinct yellow or yellow-orange band around the thorax or the elytra (wing covers), with the rest of the body being dark brown.
