Rhaesus serricollis, a species occuring in Balcan Peninsula, Turkey, Near East, Caucasus/Transcaucasia, Egypt, Cyprus and Iran, has been described from Geargia as Prionus serricollis by Victor Ivanovitsch Motschulsky in 1860 . Larvae of this remarkable beetle develop in decaying trunks (both standing or fallen) of many tree species. Pupation occurs in the wood in the spring and early summer, life-cycle at least 3 years. Adults, active from late May to August, are crepuscular/nocturnal and can be attracted to light. From http://www.cerambyx.uochb.cz/rhaesus_serricollis.php
