Can anyone identify these wood destroying bugs? - Megacyllene robiniae
Stillwater, New Jersey, USA
These bugs and larvae were found throughout my wood pile. They are in holes within the firewood, accompanied by a fine powder of saw dust outside the holes.
This image was taken on 11/24/06 according to the metadata. I am removing the date posted by the contributor (December 24, 2006) because it may be incorrect.
It is very interesting to have images of larvae and pupae of these beetle.

Cerambycidae
A longhorn beetle - these appear to be almost fully mature, if you hang onto them, should be able to ID species.
