Longhorn BeetlesGiant bug
Hi Bugman,
My father found this big guy on a glass door, at his work, in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. According to him, it seemed to sit in the same spot for hours, giving him the opportunity to take a picture. I’ve tried all kinds of sites, looking for what this creepy bug could possibly be, when I stumbled upon your website! It was about 2 1/2 inches long, not including the monstrous antennas. We made the conclusion that it’s a beetle… but of course, we could be wrong. Can you help us?!

Hi Jerica,
Your beautiful beetle is a Cottonwood Borer, Plectrodera scalator.
