Spines on the rear and huge spines
on the antennae make us think Elaphidion mucronatum - Spined Oak Borer. Yanega, fig 155. Images in the guide here. What a great image! This will be a nice addition to Bob Patterson's Maryland image in the guide. We're guessing the difference in antennae length is a gender difference.
