That Sawing support (Prionus coriarius) a kind from the family is that Support beetle.

Sawing supports become centimeters long up to 4.5. The easily shining Chitin tank is brown colored to black-brown. On the fluegeldecken are three rather weakly trained longitudinal grooves each. The sign of the Thorax carries at each page three clearly minted teeth, while both at the front and at the Hinterrand a seam of yellow hair is. Those are remarkable much are enough and strengthen feelers, with the male very strongly, with the female somewhat are more weakly sawed.

The beetles are quite far common in Central Europe. They inhabit old trees in hardwood forests, sometimes also in avenues.

The night-active animals are total loners, during their life as beetles no food to itself take. At night fly it to the light, where one can observe it at the most frequent one. By the Aneinanderreiben of hind legs and fluegeldecken they can produce stridulatory tones. Up to six the centimeters of long larvae live, if they are still younger, under the crust of trees, where it of the wood nourish themselves. If they achieved a certain age, move they in the wurzelholz. After three years and altogether fourteen Haeutungen pupate themselves them. Out of the doll the finished beetle slips.
