The Longhorn Beetle is a bug that can be found in all versions of Animal Crossing series. It is quite common - it appears on trees in all Animal Crossing series games, but on tree stumps in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Donating to the Museum

As with all insects in the Animal Crossing series series, the longhorn beetle can be donated to the Museum followed by a small talk by Blathers, the curator.

In Animal Crossing

"Hoo my! Those sharpish mandibles... truly frightening. Honestly, what could be more off-putting than these? And the antennae! Why on earth are they so very thick? Blech! Most objectionable! In a word: bad!"

In Wild World

Information Unknown.

In City Folk

"The multiple varieties and colorful body types of the longhorn beetle make it popular with collectors. It stands toe-to-toe with the dynastid and stag beetles in its popularity with children, eh wot? But those long, skinny legs and long antennae drop it right off this owl's list! How utterly revolting..."

After donation, it can be found on the second tier of the insect section of the museum, in the middle enclosure containing two trees and a tree stump, on the tree stump with the violin beetle. This enclosure also contains the walking leaf and oak silk moth to name a few others.

Further Information

The Genus is the Anoplophora of the Longhorn, the Cerambycidae is the family. Native to China, the "Asian Longhorned Beetle" causes severe damage to America's trees. The beetle can launch itself as long as 400 meters, in search for a tree to lay eggs in. As they grow up, they wiggle out of trees, eating sap, laying waste, and making deep, wide holes.
