Here is a Banded longhorn, Typocerus velutinus. It was eating pollen and, or nectar. This is the first one of these I’ve seen.

Hello again Terry,
WE really appreciate receiving your image of a Banded Longhorn. IT is not well represented on our website. According to BugGuide: “Larvae feed on decaying hardwoods such as oak, hickory. Adults usually found in daytime, but do come to lights, so probably somewhat nocturnal.“
