Sort of Red - _TNY_7447
The scientific name for this beetle is Stictoleptura rubra. Rubra means red, but when you look at this one, "red" doesn't really suit it.
That's because this is a male and it is the females which have a red colour. The English name encompasses both though as it is red-brown longhorn beetle.
I met this particular one in the Lännaskogen naturreservat back in August of 2020.
For a shot of how the female looks, please have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50322881603/
