This was on my AC unit at about 11pm in Klamath Falls Oregon. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m guessing it’s some type of borer from the huge antenna but if I was sure, I wouldn’t be asking the bugman. Hope you can, hell I know you can, let me know what this monster is. Thanks

Hi Dave,
This is a male California Prionus, Prionus californicus. It is one of the borer beetles in the family Cerambycidae.
