Blood-necked longhorn beetle (Callimoxys sanguinicollis)

I believe only the female has the red pronotum, as shown here. A large and attractive longhorned beetle, it landed on the chokecherry blossoms, one of many insects feeding on them.

Looks like a date on legs, Christine! Not something I'd like to show up in my bed!
