Longhorn Beetles

Some sort of beetle?
We just found your site…very cool! We are kind of bug people so it’s fun to see. I found this on the screen of the kitchen window. The light in the kitchen was on but I turned it off for the photo. It was around 10pm. Thanks,
Shadley

Hi Shadley,
This is a Brown Prionid, Orthosoma brunneum. This is one of the Longhorned Borer Beetles and the grubs feed in poles and roots that are in contact with wet ground.
