Flower longhorn beetle (Clytus ruricola)

A very small, wasp-like long-horned beetle, one of my favourites for its pattern. Larvae develop in decaying maple trees, of which there were quite a few in the area where I saw this.

I must say, those markings are quite attractive. Interesting also that it's a wasp-like beetle. An excellent, detailed capture. V.
