Ten-spotted Longhorn

My friend Chloe Petrelluzzi found a very nice ten-spotted longhorn (Eburia decemmaculata) at her house yesterday and I borrowed it to take a couple photos. This family of beetles is known as the longhorn beetles because most species have long antennae. Many of them live inside trees and eat wood as larvae, so they can also be known as wood-boring beetles. There are at least eleven species from this family on St. Martin.
