Spotted Horns - _TNY_1861

The flower longhorn beetle Stictoleptura maculicornis doesn't have a common English name (and is sometimes placed in the genus Paracorymbia), but the Swedish "fläckhornad blombock" as well as the German "Fleckenhörniger Halsbock" both reference the light spots on the antennae which create the impression of them being striped.

 

This particular specimen was enjoying the very yellow pollen of an ox-eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) on the lawn at my mother's summer house in Värmdö, Sweden.
