Antelope Beetle

Woodlands and deciduous forests, often found near or inside decaying logs and stumps.

Larvae (grubs) eat decaying wood; adults may feed on sap flows from trees or fruit.

Night-active insects that are often attracted to artificial lights; they undergo complete metamorphosis from larvae residing in rotting wood.

No risks to humans beyond a minor defensive pinch from the mandibles; beneficial to the ecosystem as decomposers that help recycle nutrients.
