Tetropium gabrieli

Larch longhorn beetle

Description

Adults are black, 8-18 mm long, active from May through July. The females oviposit into bark crevices. The larvae, hatched after 10-14 days, make their galleries up to 1 cm in diameter and penetrate deeper into the wood (5-6 cm) to pupate. The development takes twelve months. Larvae feed under or in the bark of trees, in standing or fallen trunks and in thick branches. T. gabrieli attacks and kills weakened trees in a very short time. Technical damage is caused by the excavation of pupal chambers up to 6 cm deep in the wood.
