Looks like it's pretty muggy over there. smile.gif
Nice picture. Thanks for sharing.
What's the name of the tree (vine?) the beetle is sitting on? And the other one in the picture? Were there any pine trees around (if it's a Lesser Pine Borer)?
Thanks.

[ Tree is common privet (aka Chinese privet), 3 vines in photo, one is grape, one is clematis, one ?. Yes this cerambycid species is a pine borer.]

Thanks for that one. I was just thinking how these guys with such long antennae keep them in flight, aimed somewhat backwards or ...? And now I know. Thank you.
And now I am wondering that it should be pretty tough not to hit something like branches or leaves flying this way deep in a thick forest.
