[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Rhagium mordax is a coleoptera of the Cerambycidae or Longicorn Beetles family of maximum 21mm length. It is a well-marked and rather downy longhorn beetle. It is widespread and fairly common in mature woodlands, especially oak. Adults are seen May­July. Sometimes it is seen foraging among flowers or foliage; sometimes in rotting wood and stumps alongside larvae. (Natural England)
This one appeared suddenly on the garden table, only to be photographed for TN…
