It is about 35 mm long and has a pair of long, jointed antennae. The body is brown and the wing cases have a characteristic pattern of lighter brown markings giving the insect a crocodile skin appearance.<\/p>\n<p>The Huhu is readily attracted to light and so frequently enters houses at dusk or early evening. If incautiously handled, it is capable of giving a powerful nip with its mandibles, but apart from this it is a harmless insect. Its scientific name is Prionoplus reticularis.<\/p>\n<p>The huhu beetle is a New Zealand native and the adult does not eat and lives for 2 weeks only.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div  class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion_builder_column_1_2 fusion-builder-column-3 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last 1_2\"  style='margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\" style=\"padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;\"   data-bg-url=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:40px;\"><\/div><span class=\"fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/puketi.org.nz\/kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/huhu-beetle-1.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Puketi Forest Trust, restoring and protecting the native wildlife, trees and plants of Puketi Forest in Northland, New Zealand.\" title=\"huhu beetle\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puketi.org.nz\/kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/huhu-beetle-1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/puketi.org.nz\/kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/huhu-beetle-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/puketi.org.nz\/kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/huhu-beetle-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/puketi.org.nz\/kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/huhu-beetle-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/puketi.org.nz\/kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/huhu-beetle-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div  class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion_builder_column_1_1 fusion-builder-column-4 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last 1_1\"  style='margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\" style=\"padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;\"   data-bg-url=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"fusion-text\"><p>The grub stage is the well-known huhu grub which lives in timber and does considerable damage to posts and dead or fallen trees.
