Description: The harlequin beetle (Acrocinus longim ) is a large tropical longhorned beetle native to the Americas, especially from southern Mexico to Brazil in South America. The harlequin beetle feeds on sap and is given this name because of its elaborate pattern of black, red and greenish yellow markings on the wing covers. The species name longim is a Latin word that makes reference to the extremely long forelegs (m ) of the males, which are usually longer than the beetles entire body. Adult Acrocinus longim are very large insects with bodies that can measure nearly 76 mm (3 inches) in length.
