Thank you for your report! Yes, I agree, that is an impressive specimen of our native White-spotted pine sawyer. Wow, "longhorned beetle" indeed. Not an invasive or a tree-killer, but a close look-alike for ALB so worth a closer look: our natives have rough-textured wingcovers (ALB is patent-leather shiny) and the little shield between them is covered in white hair (ALB's white spots are all on its wingcovers). Thanks for being on the lookout!
