One of my ento students asked me about my fav. insect. I told her about Monochamus - a genus whose incredible antennae got me into insects at age 8 & inspired my PhD on longhorn evolution. Yesterday, she sent me this. Thanks @MegsKells - you made my day! #SciArt #Coleoptera

Como en muchas especies de la subfamilia, esta sp. presenta un marcado dimorfismo sexual, siendo las hembras de mayor tamaño y de un color "uniforme". #Cucarrón #joyas #Esmeralda
