Borer? - Clytus ruricola

July 1, 2006
Size: 1/2" long
This looks like a Douglas Fir Borer to me, but the markings on his back are a little different.
Thanks for the help. :-)

Clytus ruricola
I'm pretty sure this one is Clytus ruricola (Oliv.).

Yes
It's a borer but I'm not too sure on what type as I've seen many with similar patterns on their elytra ( wing cases ).
