Aromia bungii (Faldermann, 1835) - (red necked longicorn)
This long-horned beetle is native to China and neighbouring countries. It has been accidentally introduced into Japan, possibly Taiwan, as well as parts of Europe (Italy and Germany). In Europe it has been recorded since 2011 and eradication is (has been) attempted. The beetle breeds in the trunks of live Prunus species, occasionally also in the trunks of other fruit trees. The feeding activities of the larvae can cause considerable damage. Heavy attacks result in tree death. The attacked fruit trees include cherry, plum, peach and apricot.
The female lays its eggs into cracks in the bark at the base of the trunk or the branches. The hatching larvae bore into the tree, feeding on the sapwood and heartwood. Frass is ejected by the larvae through the entry hole. This is an indication of attacks, but is not specific for this species. For quarantine operations, the best detection method is the use of trained dogs (O. Zimmermann, pers. comm.). The development of the larvae can continue, even after the attacked trees are felled. The total live cycle lasts 2-4 years.

The adults are around 25-35 mm long and can be recognized by the combination of the reddish pronotum and shiny black elytra. Some forms of Aromia moschata also have a reddish pronotum but greenish metallic elytra.
For a review of this species see the EPPO Bulletin (2015).
