It's a bad photo, and I'm ashamed of it. But it shows a female laying her eggs in the bark of a live oak tree. Egg laying takes place one egg at a time, in the cracks of the bark. The debugging time for each egg is no more than 2 seconds, so I didn't have time to focus it. This type of barbel prefers drying oaks, or freshly sawn ones. Beetles run quickly in good weather on the sun-warmed bark, from a distance they look like large wasps. Taken in the Moscow region, in mid-July.
