• Rosalia funebris

  Banded Alder Borer

  Rosalia funebris, commonly known as the Banded Alder Borer, is a striking longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is notable for its bold black-and-white coloration and elongated body form. Adults are active in spring and summer and are frequently observed on the bark of hardwood trees, particularly alders. The species is native to western North America, ranging from Alaska to California and New Mexico. Unlike many wood-boring beetles, it is not considered a significant pest as it generally lays eggs in downed rather than living trees.
