Information about the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle:

The Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle is a subspecies of longhorn beetle native to the riparian forests of the Central Valley of California from Redding to Bakersfield. The insect is listed as a Federally threatened species. They are medium sized beetles, growing to about .5-1.0 inch (1.25-2.5 cm) with the females slightly larger. Due to the extensive and widespread habitat loss, there is a push to help protect this beetle along with the ever shrinking habitat of riparian (the interface between land and a river or stream) forests which the beetle needs to survive.
