Longhorned Beetle - Dryobius sexnotatus

Longhorned Beetle - Dryobius sexnotatus
Shawnee, Johnson County, Kansas, USA
July 27, 2013
Size: 1" (excluding antennae)
Apologies for submitting this but I'm stumped! I know it might be a challenge being so squished.
I found this unfortunate fellow on the bike trail today, in "as is" condition. It looks very similar to the Zebra Longhorned Beetle but there appears to be two horizontal yellow stripes on the thorax which the Zebra lacks.

Six -Banded Longhorn Beetle
Looks like a squished Dryobius sexnotatus to me:



Somewhat of a rare bug. Very cool find! If it were me, I'd go back to that bike trail and try to find an intact specimen.

Cheers

 
So Neat!
I'd gone back a few times to where I found it and never was able to find another. Maybe next summer. Thanks again for the ID help!
