Longhorn BeetlesBig bug
June 10, 2010
His body is a little over one and a half inches long, a half inch thick, and his antennas are over 2 inches. He is mostly a metallic green with faded red over on his underside and under his wings. He is hard and stiff and makes a buzzing sound when he flies. We found him at midday buzzing around our plum tree. It is early summer.
Just an answer.

Plinthocoelium suaveolens, a Longhorned Borer Beetle
This beautiful Longhorned Borer Beetle, Plinthocoelium suaveolens, has no common name. Several years ago, we proposed the common name Tupelo Tree Borer based on its food plant.
