Your letter to the bugman: I was saving trees and was hanging out in the brush and I happened to come across this thing. Looks like a wasp but I’m not entirely sure what this thing could be.
How you want your letter signed: Shovel logger 03
Whitehorned Horntail
Dear Shovel logger 03
This is a Wood Wasp commonly called a Whitehorned Horntail, Uroceros albicornus. This female will likely use her long ovipositor to lay her eggs beneath the bark on conifers. The larvae are wood borers.
