Long-horned beetle in Texas - Trachyderes mandibularis
Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, USA
October 6, 2008
I strongly suspect that this is a female Trachyderes mandibularis. Can someone positively ID?
Spotted at the Hans & Pat Suter Wildife Refuge in Corpus Christi.

Right ID, wrong gender:-)
This is a male. Not all males have those exaggerated mandibles.

How you know this is a male?
