Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

Black body, black and white striped antennae, approximately 2 inches long

Commentary

Nice picture, and, luckily, not an ALB, but a native Monochamus species. The white-spotted sawyer is a common long-horned beetle species in our forests. Thank you for keeping an eye out for invasive pests.
