Commentary

Thanks! This appears to be Monochamus scutellatus, the pine sawyer, which is a native insect in the same beetle family as the ALB, but it is a native and not a pest.

Pretty wild background for the photo. If you have any pics with a plain white background that is best for identification. Many thanks again!! - Wyatt
