Extremely destructive also is the great family of long-horned beetles, " buck- beetles" (or Cer"ambyc'idae 0, of which aliout six hundred species are known in North The antcnnte and legs of these beetles are America alone very long.^ The larvK bore into even the hardest woods, and hve there for two or three years. Timljer a)id shade trees are thus greatly dam- aged. A favorite collecting ground for " long-horns " is the goldenrod (Fig. SI).
