Spines

Thanks for getting me close. I believe the spines on the pronotum mark this as M. carolinensis.

Careful...

Monochamus titillator is identical in that regard. The best way to separate the two species is the nature of the spines at the apices of the elytra. Difficult to see in this photo.

Spines

Thanks. Next time I catch one I'll try for more diagnostic photos.
