Monochamus sp.
This is one of the "pine sawyers" in the genus Monochamus. Surprised someone else hasn't chimed in.

Thanks Eric. I couldn't find a key that showed the differences between carolinensis and titillator so I'll place it here for now.

Looks like M. carolinensis...
...based on the weakly dentate elytral apices; however, the angle of the photo makes it hard to be certain. Check here for a recent discussion on distinguishing carolinensis from titillator.

It's amazing how few images there are of these two species. From the ID'd individuals I've seen here, I'd go with carolinensis also.


Thanks for taking the time to look at the images.
