Musk beetle
The musk beetle (''Aromia moschata'') is a Eurasian species of longhorn beetle belonging to the subfamily Cerambycinae, tribe Callichromatini. Its name comes from the delicate musky smell it emits when menaced.
==Description==
This beetle is characterised by very long antennae (like all other cerambycids〔A review of the chemical ecology of the Cerambycidae (Coleoptera), Jeremy D. Allison,
John H. Borden and Steven J. Seybold, Chemoecology, 14, pp 123–150 (2004)〕) and a somewhat coppery or greenish metallic tint. The typical form, characterised by a pronotum with a metallic color, is widespread in Europe, except for most of Spain and the Southern Italy. In such regions, in North Africa, and in Asia to Japan, the species is represented by some subspecies characterised by a more or less red pronotum. The antennae are longer than the entire head and body length in male and as long as body in females. Nevertheless, the Oriental subspecies have usually shorter antennae.
The musk beetle can be found in Great Britain locally, for example at Caldicot and Wentloog Levels otherwise known as Gwent Levels SSSI〔Natural World Magazine, Spring 2009, The Wildlife Trust, published by Think publishing〕
