Emporia melanobasis

Emporia melanobasis is a type of insect known as a longhorn beetle. It has a black body with yellow markings, like a bumblebee! These beetles love to eat wood, so they can be found in forests or around trees. They have long antennas on their head that help them sense their environment, kind of like when you use your nose to smell or your ears to hear. The Emporia melanobasis can be found in many different places around the world, but they are especially common in parts of Asia. Like all animals, they play an important role in their ecosystem, helping to keep the balance of nature in check.
