SIze?
How big was it? It looks like Brachyleptura circumdata which is one of the smaller lepturines. I suppose it could be Leptura plebeja (see your photo 25909 - I'm pretty sure on the ID for that one) but L. plebeja is bigger and has a more tapering rear end.

It was on the small size
About 7mm, and it does look like the other pictures here. Thanks for all the help again, Frank.
