Megacyllene decora
Megacyllene decora. A beautiful longhorn beetle I've never seen before.

This species is "extremely variable" according to Yanega, and Yanega's field guide to Eastern longhorns pictures four variations of the markings.

Thanks
Thanks a lot for the quick response, Stephen. I really appreciate it. I hit a lot of resources trying to track it down. If you have any Beetle references that you would recommend, please email me. Thanks again.
