Flower Longhorn Beetle - Xestoleptura octonotata
Cross Plains, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
June 5, 2007
I found this beetle hidden in one of the flower clusters of a Viburnum. The temperature was around 60F so the beetle may have been slow-moving for this reason.

Thanks for the link. It's always fun to find an insect for which the guide does not have many photos already.
