Longhorn Beetles in the Landscape – Landscape photography of longhorn beetles quietly resting in nature.

This website introduces longhorn beetles quietly resting in nature. You can see the photos of the beetles either by the order of their posting or in the list of species. All the photos were taken in natural environments, capturing the beetles in their natural habitats.

Photo List ・ Display Order

There are about 800 species of longhorn beetles in Japan, ranging from Hokkaido to Okinawa Pref. Therefore, I will never run out of subjects to photograph. Currently, I have photographed around 200 species, but it may become increasingly difficult to find new ones.

Originally, the focus was on photographing longhorn beetles, but it has become harder to find new ones on my outings. As a result, I now also photograph other insects. These photos can be found on “Insects in the Landscape.” Recently, the number of these photos has grown and is now more than twice that of the longhorn beetles.

Since the identification is done only through photographs without collecting specimens, there may be errors. If you notice any mistakes, please kindly inform me, and I will promptly correct them.

Request for Identification Corrections

All the photos were taken outdoors, so there may be parts of the beetles that are not visible. Since I do not collect or handle the beetles, there may be identification errors. Please feel free to point out any inaccuracies by email.
