The Celestial Bull is a general term for insects of the family Polyphagous, chewing mouthparts, with long antennae, often longer than the length of the body, and there are more than 20,000 species worldwide. There are some species that are pests whose larvae live in wood and can cause harm to trees or buildings.

The larvae and adults of the Celestial Bull are mostly active on trees, such as mulberry, willow and poplar trees, citrus, pine trees, etc. There are a variety of Celestial Bull species in which they reproduce. It is the most numerous among the celestial cattle and is more harmful to vegetation.
Celestial bulls generally overwinter as larvae, or overwinter in the pupae chamber as adults, that is, adults that feather in the autumn and winter of the previous year, stay in the pupa chamber until the spring and summer of the following year. Adult insects generally do not have a long lifespan, from ten days to one or two months, but adults overwintering in the pupae may reach seven or eight months. Males generally have a shorter lifespan than females. The time of adult activity varies from species to species, with some active in daylight during the day, most actively in the celestial calf, and some at night or on cloudy days, or all night.
The hatching larvae generally feed on the subcutaneous moths, and after a long or short period of time, they penetrate deep into the woody part. A few species decay only subcutaneously. Some species are not chiseled deeply, and are only harmed in the sapwood part. Many species attack the base stem or thick branches, some in the root stem, and some in the branches. When the larvae decay, they penetrate various pits, either up or down, left or right, or bent or straight, depending on the species, but there are also many types of tunnels that are very irregular.
