About Stenurella bifasciata (Müller, 1776)
Stenurella bifasciata is a species of longhorn beetle that can reach 6 to 10 millimetres (0.24 to 0.39 inches) in length. Its head, antennae, pronotum, and legs are all black, and the pronotum is slightly punctured. Male individuals have yellow-brown elytra, while females have red elytra. All individuals have a widely darkened suture along the elytra and black elytron apices, along with a black heart-shaped or rhomboid marking that is sometimes missing in males. The last three abdominal segments are usually red. The eleventh, which is the last, antennal segment is longer than the tenth antennal segment.
