@@MrPDHobbit Texas has multiple different climates and that leads to a large amount of plant/animal diversity! There are multiple species of coleoptera that I'd like to add to My collection that live in Texas!
@@RomeoHearts ah I see there's a few I just can't remember them all 🤣. To bad stripped ground squirrels arnt invasive were im at ill set up all the traps 🤣🤣🤣. They ate my garden multiple times so ya lol dam squirrels.
@@Dead.garden Valid, haha, there are oodles of beetle species. As far as those ground squirrels, I did some surface level research, and it looks like you can trap, kill, or catch and release them if they’re on your property.
Those look terrifying!
Dude, it's like Hitchhiker's Guide and towels, ALWAYS carry collection gear!!
@@megatronjenkins2473 I know, I know lol, it won't happen again!
Beautiful Long Jawed Longhorn Beetles, we got some awesome critters here in good old TX
@@MrPDHobbit insect collectors, such as myself, definitely know that Texas has some very interesting creatures!
@@MrPDHobbit it's just so hard to collect down there. Barbed wire fences everywhere.
@@eddieeichinger I'm originally from CA but ive been living here about 7 or 8 years and I'm always surprised by the variety of animals here

@@eddieeichinger If you do get some share it on your channel I'd love to see more of what you and Texas has to offer!
Che bel coleottero
@@cristinaclerici9378 Yes it is! ❤
They look pretty awesome, but i would freak out seeing one in person. Too big, and has bitey parts
@@iffyfox9749 they are beautiful, but yeah can give a nip!
Are these Coleoptera?
@@seguuro Yes they are!
Cool!
FYI ... the name was chagned back to Dendrobias mandibularis
_Sigh_
I love entomology but keeping up with the constant taxonomic reclassifications can be tiresome.
@@robertjensen4636 Yeah I just realized that. Always renaming!
@@RealBelisariusCawl it's super annoying!
It is very annoying…at least on this one they went back to a name I was familiar with.
Can’t wait to come over to AZ in a few weeks to look for some to photograph.
I see these guys in the lumberyard all the time
@@Eddardstark9308 I believe it! Lumberyards/timber harvesting sites are great places to find cerambycids and buprestids!
Arnt these invasive to usa or no ?
I believe you’re thinking of the Asian longhorn beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis), which this is not.

@@Dead.garden pretty sure they are not invasive in the US. They have in recent years become established in Florida where they are not normally found.

@@Dead.garden You could try to build a greenhouse to keep them out, squirrels are very smart.
