How to catch Red-Necked Longhorn Beetle

Use the Insect Net. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Equip the Insect Net and approach the creature at eye level or on the ground.
2. Most insects can be caught with a simple net swipe; slow down if the species is skittish.
3. Check tree trunks, flowers, shrubs, crops and aerial spaces — the habitat column tells you where this species spawns.

Where and when to find it

Habitat: Aerial. Distribution: All Regions.

The Red-Necked Longhorn Beetle lays its eggs in tree bark crevices. Once they hatch, the larvae tunnel their way into the trunk, causing tree dieback.

For woodpeckers, however, these plump grubs hiding beneath the bark are tasty instant treats.
