Citrus long-horned beetle
The Citrus Long-Horned Beetle,[nb 1] known as the Longhorn Beetle prior to New Horizons, is a bug that can be found in all versions of Animal Crossing. It is quite common - it appears on trees in early Animal Crossing games, but on tree stumps starting from Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Donating to the museum
As with all insects in the Animal Crossing series, the Longhorn Beetle can be donated to the museum followed by a small talk by Blathers, the curator.
In Animal Crossing
In Wild World
After Blathers reluctantly accepts the Longhorn Beetle, it can be found on the third tree from the right in the second room of the bug exhibit. It sits placidly on its tree, but does shuffle about on the spot quite a bit.
In City Folk
After donation, it can be found on the second tier of the insect section of the museum, in the middle enclosure containing two trees and a tree stump, on the tree stump with the Violin Beetle. This enclosure also contains the Walking Leaf and Oak Silk Moth, to name a few others.
In New Leaf
Upon donation, it can be found on the large tree stump in the upper left room of the insect exhibit. The information board has this to say about the Longhorn Beetle:
In New Horizons
Once donated to the museum, the Citrus Long-Horned Beetle can be found on a tree stump next to the Rosalia Batesi Beetle and the Jewel Beetle.

Real-world information
The genus is the Anoplophora of the longhorn, the Cerambycidae is the family. Native to China, the Asian long-horned beetle causes severe damage to America's trees. The beetle can launch itself as far as 400 meters, in search for a tree to lay eggs in. As they grow up, they wiggle out of trees, eating sap, laying waste, and making deep, wide holes.
The citrus long-horned beetle (Anoplophora chinensis) is a long-horned beetle native to Japan, China and Korea, where it is considered a serious pest.
Each female citrus long-horned beetle can make up to 200 eggs after mating, and each egg is separately deposited in tree bark. After the beetle larvae hatches, it chews into the tree, forming a tunnel that is then used as a place for beetle pupation (the process of growing from larvae to adult). From egg-laying to pupation and adult emergence can take twelve to eighteen months.
Infestations by the beetle can kill many different types of hardwood trees as well as citrus trees, pecan, apple, Australian pine, hibiscus, sycamore, willow, pear, mulberry, pigeon pea, Chinaberry, poplar, litchi, kumquat, Japanese red cedar, oak, and Ficus.
