I apologize that I was not able to pull up the "Beetle" section of BugGuide. I'm sure you have it there. That aside, I would appreciate any help to ID this beauty. Thanks, Darryl

Thank you all
for your help. Actually, I was transplanting a Creeping Juniper when this very large beetle came to surface. It got an attachment to my gloves and didn't want to let go. After photographing, I placed it back to the garden. Darryl

Leptura
This is most likely Leptura emarginata

Yep.
I would agree. I managed to secure one specimen in Cincinnati, but only after getting an extendable neck, and an appointment with a chiropractor! Ok, kidding about the chiropractor, but in my experience this species flies 20-30 feet up, around dead, standing beech trees....I hear you can bait for them, though.

Looks like...
a Lepturine Cerambycid, or flower longhorn beetle. I'm afraid I can't go any further than that but there are plenty of beetle experts here.

is a good start. Thanks. Darryl
