Female Flatfaced Longhorn: Graphisurus species
Dear Curious in NC,
Because of the extremely long ovipositor, we believe this female Flatfaced Longhorn is either Graphisurus fasciatus or Graphisurus despectus. Here is a BugGuide image of the latter for comparison. The former has a greater range and BugGuide data reports it from North Carolina.
