Northeastern Pine sawyer beetle (Monochamus notatus)

Larose Forest

This beetle belongs to the Cerambycidae, the Longhorn beetles, no surprise given those 'horns', really antennae. This is a large bodied beetle, up to 35mm in length.

As that body is 35 mm long, those antennae are enormous! They seem like a hindrance; I wonder what function they contribute so strongly.

Great shot, but not something I'd want to run into in person! V.
