Family Siricidae - Horntail, maybe Asian
I've never seen that one before. I wonder if it might be this imported variety - Asian Horntail - Eriotremex formosanus?

It does look like a horntail.
It does look like a horntail. I added another image of the same insect with it's ovipositor embedded in the tree.
