Herophila tristis

Herophila tristis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, they are also called longhorned beetles. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1767, originally under the genus Cerambyx. It is known from Italy, Romania, Austria, Bulgaria, Crete, Croatia, Sardinia, France, Greece, Serbia, Corsica, Sicily, Hungary, Slovenia, Albania, and Turkey. It feeds on Morus alba, Ficus carica, and Robinia pseudoacacia.[1] They live 2-3 years and are 13 - 26 mm long.[2] Larvae feed under the bark of a range of broad-leaved trees, mostly Ficus carica commonly known as fig trees. As an adult they hide in the day and come out in the dusk.[3]

gollark: Huh, I have no idea what just happened but it seems like my WiFi connection fixed itself: I'm getting a sensible TX/RX bitrate, latency is sensible and my bandwidth jumped by a factor of 10?
gollark: It's not about load balancing, the Rust version is waaay faster so that isn't an issue, it's for if (when...) my server goes down.
gollark: Trees don't leave very much room for redundancy, that's the thing.
