Stenocorus meridianus is a species of longhorn beetle in the Lepturinae subfamily that can be found anywhere in Europe (except for Faroe Islands, Iceland and Ireland, Malta, and parts of Italy such as San Marino, Sardinia, Sicily, and Vatican City), Caucasus, and Kazakhstan. They are 15–27 millimetres (0.59–1.06 in). The species have brown coloured legs, but can have either black (female) or brown (male) coloured prothorax. They occasionally feed on deciduous trees such as elm, maple, and oak. The species life cycle is from 2–3 years, with a flight time from May–July. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Variable Longhorn Beetle sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 445th most-seen of the 521 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Variable Longhorn Beetle in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Variable Longhorn Beetle sightings, Munich ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Vienna (Austria, about 10%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Variable Longhorn Beetle that you can see in Munich (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Red Pine Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), Spotted Longhorn Beetle (about 10%) and Musk Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Variable Longhorn Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (5 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
