	abstract = {Bark and longhorn beetles were collected and screened for the presence of nematodes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was necessary since most adult insects, isolated from traps and recently felled trees, were dead. The insects, suitably preserved and treated for SEM observations, presented juvenile forms of nematodes packed in a cocoon-like structure covered with a protective sticky substance, which attaches the nematodes to the insect{\textquoteright}s body. Most nematodes were found beneath the elytra but also under the wings, around the abdominal spiracles and on the abdomen.},
