Larva of Capnodis tenebrionis inside the wood, Peach Rootborer, The form of the larvae of Capnodis tenebrionis is identical at all ages – what changes is size. Their color is whitish, their body elongated and flattened, they have strong maxillae and mandibles and are practically legless. Their head is small and brown, and although they share with many other species of the family Buprestidae, the naming of flatheaded rootborers, this is due to the fact that they have prothorax obviously wider in relation to the rest of the body, which can easily be confused and considered as a head.
