Longhorn BeetlesWhat beetle is this?
December 30, 2009
I caught this huge beetle flying around outside my classroom window in Mesa, Arizona in the middle of April. On a warm sunny day.
My class thought it was a “flying spider”! What is it? any ideas? It’s not in any of my bug books. I enclosed two photos. Thanks in advanced for any help!

Hi Lisa,
Your beetle is a Hardwood Stump Borer, Mallodon dasystomus. You can find additional images and information on BugGuide.
