subcortical pine longhorn - Rhagium inquisitor

subcortical pine longhorn - Rhagium inquisitor
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
March 1, 2007
Size: est . 17- 20 mm
Strange in appearance for a longhorn with their round eyes, short mandibles, fairly short antennae, and ribbed elytra, these beetles often mature and spend much of the winter as adults under the bark of fairly-recently killed pines. There were a few dozen adults and larvae beneath the bark of a large standing trunk that had snapped off in the past couple years 10-15 from the ground.

I used the wrong lens for this full body shot that I include only as context for the linked closeups.
