I got some time to look on your site ..heres what you have under the first beetle page: “8/13/2003) The COTTONWOOD BORER, Plectrodera scalator, is a large black and white beetle that is most likely your culprit. It is a member of the long horned borer family. The grubs bore into the trees and can cause considerable damage.” Hi …got wondering if those first pics I sent were too big , so here they are resized…though , as dangerous looking as they are , a full size pic is much more impressive,lol…Debbi in Maud,OK

Hi Debbi,
We see you already identified your Cottonwood Borer before we had a chance to respond. We spent the whole day gardening, stopping just long enough to bar-be-que.
