California Prionus
We found this at night in El Cajon CA. It was about 2.5 inches minus the antennae. Thanks to your site for helping us identify it as a California Prionus. In the jar it made a squeaking sound. We let it go the next day. The pictures are big but they came out pretty nice. (We named it Cruliette. ) Thanks,
Kylie, David & Emily

Hi Kylie, David and Emily,
Thank you for sending in your wonderful image of a California Prionus, Prionus californicus, also known as the California Root Borer.
