Timberman Acanthocinus aedilis

The 'timberman' name says it all: this wood-boring longhorn beetle specializes in tunneling through timber. Like all longhorn beetles, it boasts impressively long antennae that help it navigate in tight spaces—essential equipment when you're carving galleries through solid wood. While it's a natural part of forest ecosystems where it helps decompose dead trees, it's earned a reputation as a potential pest in buildings and wooden structures where its wood-boring talents can cause unwanted damage.
