long-horned beetles?

Question

long-horned beetle i.d Mr. DeAngelis,

Can you provide me with any info on the long-horned beetle pictured below?

Answer
Chad,

Excellent picture. I'm guessing that you already known that this is a long-horn beetle in the family Cerambycidae and that the larvae are wood borers (see http://www.livingwithbugs.com/log_home.html for a picture of the larva of a similar species). I don't know the species of this particular beetle but the folks at http://www.bugguide.net might be able to pin a name on it. You might also consider posting this image there as well.
