Donating to the Museum
As with all other insects in the 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
''Hoo, I say! Be sure to keep your fingers away from that savage maw! And what ostentatious antennae! I mean, really! Blech! Such foulness...''

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
Anoplophora glabripennis, a longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, is an Asian species that has spread across the world and become a pest in many of these locations. By boring into chinese trees and as a result being transported in lumber transportation, Asian Longhorns or Starry-sky beetles have set foot in both Am

erica and Europe. In British Columbia where the tree industry is widespread, these beetles can cause devastating damage in both the adult and larval forms, where they eat through the bark of trees and the branches.

Affected trees suffer from leaf loss and poor growth, and the only effective way to combat the beetle is to burn all the trees in the vicinity. Millions of dollars have been spent on eradicating the beetle, which has no natural predators in North America.
