Thanks
Thanks for the info, Folks. Also, thanks for the suggestion, Ron. I'll have to play with that a bit. I only recently began playing around with macro photography so I'm pretty much a "greenhorn".

 
Prediction: You'll quickly grow and prosper here.
:-)

Both your beetles look like flower longhorns.
But I'm no expert. Check here while waiting for the doctor to come:

Suggestion: Crop images like this a bit closer. Nice shots at any rate. And you're smart to add plant info, particularly on beetles and bugs.

 
no expert either
But i'm also certain that this is indeed a Lepturinae (Flower longhorn).
I've found a picture of Analeptura lineola thats is quite looking close to your longhorn. I'm pushing foward by looking at the genus Analeptura and coming back with more hopefully.

I researched i bit more, and getting some confidence in my guess. Anybody can confirm?

 
Yes...
...Analeptura lineola is correct.

 
Great
My first correct identification on this site...
Cool!!!
