Grapevine Phymatodes
Phymatodes amoenus is a small to medium-sized longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) found in North America. The species is commonly known as the grapevine phymatodes due to its exclusive association with grape vines (Vitis spp.). Adults are typically found on dead grape vines, where they may occur alongside predatory checkered beetles (Cleridae) that prey upon their larvae. The species was first described by Thomas Say in 1824.
