Commentary

Thank you for your report to the Hotline! Our insect taxa reviewer thinks this is a type of sawyer beetle, in the genus Monochamus. These beetles are found throughout the world, and we don't believe this is an invasive beetle. You can see more about Monochamus here: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/82044-Monochamus
