Longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae)

These beetles belong to a worldwide family of about 30,000 species. Longhorns can generally be found between April and August in Europe and are very important to the ecosystem they live in, the larvae eating decaying matter and the adults providing pollination services, particularly to hawthorn, dogwood, hogweed and other umbellifers.
