Northeastern pine sawyer beetle (Monochamus notatus)

Larose Forest

This is a large beetle, made even more impressive by the very long antennae. It landed on Stephen's shirt one night, attracted by the nearby lights set up for mothing.

Sure lives up to the family name. I wonder what function the extraordinary length serves.
