Flower Longhorn

Hi again tx Finest,
In our opinion, this is a Flower Longhorn in the subfamily Lepturniae, however, despite finding many similar looking individuals on BugGuide, we cannot provide a conclusive identification.

I’d have to take quite a bit of time to search and find you an answer, but the color of this image is a bit off, too.

No sense searching unless you have nothing else to do Eric.  Like I wrote, there were many similar ones.  The person wrote:  “They seem to love early mornings. Thats the only time i can catch them out and about.”  Since It was early morning, I did not correct the red color of the light.  Here is a color corrected version, though it is still off color.

Flower Longhorn color corrected to remove red, morning light.
