bug - Phymatodes testaceus

bug - Phymatodes testaceus
Cedar Rapids, Linn County, Iowa, USA
May 14, 2007
Size: 1/2" body
I have been finding these in my house this spring. A few of them have been found dead in standing water. I have seen a few that are about an inch long.

Moved
Moved from Longhorned Beetles.

Phymatodes testaceus
They tend to emerge from oak firewood brought indoors

in house?
so likely to be this one:

Looks like a beetle
and with those fat legs and long antennae, maybe one of the long-horned beetles in the Cerambycidae. Check in the guide under that family and see if you see anything close.

 
Yes.
Definitely Cerambycidae, probably genus Phymatodes. This might be a species new to the guide.
