Your letter to the bugman: Found this bug while I was at work and it’s massive, was probably 2 1/2 almost 3 inches. kinda think it’s a June bug but it doesn’t got the stripes
How you want your letter signed : What is it?
Unidentified Prionid
We are only able to provide you with a partial identification on your discovery. This is a Longhorned Borer Beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and it is a member of the subfamily Prioninae, the Root Borers. Unfortunately we are unable to provide you with a species name. Though you submitted three images, one was a red rectangle and one a black rectangle with no insects visible. The image we posted has many identifying features hidden in the grass. The gray coloration and lack of thoracic spines are distinctive, but it doesn’t look like any of the species on BugGuide. Is Grays Harbor a town that gets international ships? Perhaps one of our readers with more experience will be able to provide a species identification.
