Arrowhead Borer? - Xylotrechus sagittatus

Arrowhead Borer? - Xylotrechus sagittatus
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County, North Carolina, USA
August 22, 2005
Size: around 15-20 mm

Yes, I think so
Yes, I think it is Xylotrechus sagittatus. You can see the little groove on the forehead distinctive for Xylotrechus--Gary Bunker, I believe, mentioned this on one of my images. Those marks on the elytra look correct for sagittatus, and I think that narrows it down enough.
