Mating Locust borers (Megacyllene robiniae)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Barry found a mating pair of these large and very beautiful longhorned beetles on goldenrod (which is where they are typically found in late summer and early autumn). These beetles are closely associated with black locust trees and you won't find them in areas where the trees are absent from the general vicinity. There are, as visitors know, many black locust trees (Robinia pseudoacacia) at FWG.
