FAMILY CERAMBYCIDAE

This page contains pictures and information about Small Longicorn Beetles that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
 
Body length 10mm
 
This is the smallest longicorn that we even found. This small longicorn is only 10mm body length. It was sitting on the top of a dry plant, its antenna was up, seems waiting for something.
