Moved from ID Request.

Prionus
It is a Long-horned beetle, Family Cerambycidae.

It is more than likely a Broad-necked Root Borer, Prionus laticollis.

For future, please crop close to the insect. You can also edit this submission and replace image with a cropped version if you would like.

I concur...
Almost certainly Prionus laticollis.
