My family and I just found this bug, wanted to see what it was, and got re-directed to this website. And let me tell you, this is the bug. One from Northern California, Redding to be exact. Too bad we can't supply an image.

Pine Sawyer, Monochamus
It is a Pine Sawyer, a Longhorn beetle in the genus Monochamus. See the Guide page for the genus.

There are 8 North American species, according to Nearctica.com.
I've no idea on western species.

Monochamus scutellatus
Monochamus scutellatus always has a white scutellum (the triangular area where the elytra (wing covers) meet at the thoracic joint. The rest of the insect can range from heavily mottled to solid black!
