Pedostrangalia
''Pedostrangalia'' is a genus of beetles which belong to the subfamily Lepturinae in the family of longhorn beetles. Appearance Medium-sized, slim, brown-red to black longhorn beetles. In all cases, some individuals have red wing-coverings, and some have black. The antennae are thin, and about the same length as the body. The pronotum is bell-shaped, with wings tapering backwards. The legs are medium-sized, and thin. Life The larvae develop in rotten, often dead, wood which is contact with living wood, often of different type of trees. Development usually takes two to three years. Adult beetles are most active in mid-summer, and visit a variety of flowers, particularly Apiaceae and other plants with white, open flowers. This is not true of all species. Lepturinae are lively insects compared to other longhorn beetles which are quite slow. Habitat The insects are found across most of Europe and Asia.
