Flower longhorn beetle (Clytus ruricola)

A very nicely patterned beetle, not seen as frequently as some in this family, but spring through summer is the time to look. Their larvae develop in hardwood trees that are already decaying, particularly maples.

I would have to say it's sort of a cute beetle, or at least looks that way in your excellent closeup. Fine detail on the leaf as well. V.
