bug identification? #871816

Asked June 05, 2024, 9:04 PM EDT

Hello,

I found this bug outside my house near Black Forest and was wondering what it is. I was thinking a sculpted pine borer, but that doesn't seem to normally be in this area.

Thanks!

Hi Aaron,

That is indeed a western sculpted pine borer (Chalcophora angulicolis).
