long-horned wood-boring beetle
5672 Hi there. I assume this is some sort of “long-horned wood-boring beetle” but would love more specifics. This guy and a number of his brethren chewed their way out of hardwood (mulberry) we had brought in for the fire from our woodpile. They have emerged over the past few days (early May). Body just around an inch long. In Scarborough, ON. The holes are almost squared more than round. Thanks in advance! Deborah
This is a long-horned wood-boring beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae); it does not appear to be any of the species that might infest anything in your home. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
