Insects and Spiders - native

Longhorn Beetles (family Cerambycidae) on Aug 25, 2024

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

With antanee it about the size of my palm with a solid looking body, could not see the wings. Solid black with small white spots.

Commentary

Thank you for your report! Without a photo or specimen it's hard to say. From your description you saw a Longhorned woodborer (family Cerambycidae), but it's more likely the native White-spotted pine sawyer than the invasive Asian longhorned beetle (which has not yet been found in Oregon). Thanks for being on the lookout!
