Black with white specks beetle

Commentary

Thanks for your report! This is not Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis), which is not known to be established in Oregon. Instead, this is the Oregon fir sawyer, Monochamus scutellatus, a common woodborer in damaged or recently killed fir, pine, spruce and other conifers. It is not considered a pest.
