Cerambyx
Cerambyx is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae (longhorn beetles). They are commonly known as capricorn beetles, as their strong, stout and curved antennae, each segment of which flares towards the tip, are reminiscent of the horns of an Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex) or "capricorn".

gollark: I'm sure everyone will be excited about this; potatOS now implements LOGGING!
gollark: You could genetically engineer both, right? I mean, there's a lot of overlap, and the genetic engineering technology should allow both.
gollark: You should be using cooler compression algorithms like zstdandard.
gollark: Wow, nginx has many cool features I am not using.
