Longhorn Beetles (family Cerambycidae) on Aug 9, 2024

Originally reported as Asian Longhorned Beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis)

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

Large, elongated black beetle with white specks. Large thick antennae.

Commentary

Thank you for your report! Without a photo it's not possible to identify the beetle from that description. There are many large native beetles that are not pests, and one frequently seen ALB close look-alike, the white-spotted pine sawyer (Monochamus scutellatus). They are not tree killers. Thanks for being on the lookout!
