Clytus? Neoclytus? - Neoclytus
Memphis, St. Clair County, Michigan, USA
August 28, 2005
Size: body 13mm long, 3mm wide
These were found on a Hickory tree (so I'm told), about 50 total. A male and I female were brought to me to ID (they were mating in the sample bag!) but I lost track of which was which once they separated. The patterns do not seem to match the other similar ones posted here or that I've tried finding through google. any ideas?

Cerambycidae
looks to me like Neoclytus mucronatus, a species found on dead or dying hickories. Hopefully someone will verify.
