I think that is a bad guy in my state.   Great photo though.

Are there any conifers in that state? Because this insect develops id dead conifer wood.

Pines and cedars.  There is a new type of Long Horned Beetle here.  It is considered an invasive species.

To change the subject.  Do you have *Dynastes Titus Beetles where you are?  We have a few here, they are just starting to appear.

I looked up both species.  They are both beautiful beetles.  Ours has different coloration and the "horns" are shaped differently too.

A great photo.  Thanks for sharing it!
