Family Cerambycidae comprises the longhorn beetles, one of the largest and most diverse families of beetles in the order Coleoptera, with more than 35,000 described species worldwide. Longhorn beetles are named for their exceptionally long antennae, which in many species equal or exceed the length of the body. They vary greatly in size, shape, and coloration, ranging from small, inconspicuous species to large, spectacular beetles adorned with striking patterns, bright colors, or elaborate mimicry of bees and wasps.
