Flower longhorn beetle (Clytus ruricola)

On the way home, along a trail today, I suddenly spied this pretty beetle and, since I have so few photos of this species stopped to try for a few shots. He cooperated for awhile but then scuttled off. The larvae of this species feed on decaying maples and other similar trees.
