Hi,
We had these all over our building yesterday, it was very hot and they were only in the shade. Can you tell me what it is?Thanks

Hi Ian,
This is one of the most beautiful images we have ever received of what is, in our opinion, North America’s most beautiful beetle, the Banded Alder Borer, Rosalia funebris. Here in Southern California, this beetle is also known as the California Laurel Borer.
