The biological family of long-horned beetles, insects characterized by their long antennae and wood-eating larvae.
From Greek 'kerambyx' (beetle) plus the Latin family name suffix '-idae.' This scientific classification name was formalized in zoological taxonomy to group all long-horned beetles together.
Cerambycidae is one of the largest beetle families with over 35,000 species worldwide, and they've been called 'carpenter beetles' for thousands of years because their tunneling can actually damage wooden buildings and trees!
