Note 6 — Chapter IX · THE PINE COCKCHAFER

Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation

We find the same mechanism in the small Capricorn, Cerambyx cerdo,6 and in the denizen of the willows, the Rose-scented Aromia, A. moschata.7 On the other hand, the Ægosoma and Ergates, mighty Longicorns both, are without the projection fitting into the corselet, or rather possess of it only as much as is strictly necessary to join the two parts together. Consequently the two big night-insects are dumb.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
