About Stenoderus suturalis (Olivier, 1795)

Stenoderus suturalis, commonly called the stinking longicorn, is a species of longhorn beetle. It is found in southern regions of Australia, including Western Australia. Adults grow to around 20 millimeters in length. This species has glossy black legs, head, and thorax, and orange coloured elytra. When threatened, the stinking longicorn releases a foul-smelling fluid from glands located on the sides near the connections of the mandibles, close to the eyes.
