Flower Longicorn: Pachyta armata
Dear Debbie,
We first posted an image of this unusual Flower Longicorn, Pachyta armata, back in 2019 and we spent considerable more time trying to identify it originally. There is not much information available on this species with no common name. According to Montana Field Guides: “We do not yet have descriptive information on this species. Please try the buttons above to search for information from other sources.” According to Jungle Dragon: “This beetle is distributed in USA.” BugGuide reports sightings along Pacific coast states and Canada.
