That's the funny thing. It's sitting on my patio, and those pavers are 1 foot square each. So I guess it's like 2 feet long?
Just kidding. It's maybe 1.5-2 inches without the creepy antennae.
Pine sawyer, then, And, for the record, long-horned beetles think our ears are a bit creepy.
Thanks for the entomology express lesson this morning.
Although I am curious about your intimate knowledge of beetle feelings. Are you, like, Beetle Man or something? (As opposed to Ant Man)
I just replaced my outdoor light fixture and tons of bugs, including beetles like this, fell out (glad it wasn't me doing the replacing). I called the exterminator because we thought most of the bugs were termites (they were flying ants) and I asked about the beetles since I'd never seen these before. He said it was from the newly planted landscaping in front of my house. Really huge ugly things!
i thought it might be a firefly, but when i googled, I saw they look nothing like it.

I found this unfortunate specimen drowned in some water I was dumping from a big tub we keep outside after the rain last night. Does anyone recognize it?
