Longhorn beetle - Lagocheirus obsoletus

Longhorn beetle - Lagocheirus obsoletus
Devils River at Dry Devils River junction, Val Verde County, Texas, USA
October 6, 2015
Size: 15.5 mm
I initially listed size as 18 mm, and I admit it was an eyeball estimate. The reference to "colossus" made me get my calipers and make an exact measurement of the living beetle. It is 15.5 mm in length.
