The red-necked longhorn beetle Aromia bungii and its reproductive behaviours. a A pair in copula, where the male mounts the female’s back. b Eggs laid on the bark of the flowering cherry Cerasus × yedoensis ‘Somei-yoshino’ branch (under laboratory condition). c Eggs of A. bungii can be easily detected using UV and blue light because of the fluorescence generated after exposure. The fluorescence image was acquired using a stereomicroscope equipped with a GFP filter cube (excitation filter: 470 ± 20 nm, emission filter: 525 ± 25 nm). (Online version in colour.)
