| James found this long-horned beetle (probably an oak borer, Enaphalodes sp.*) in the house yesterday while he was dusting. I wasn't too surprised. I'd heard something either bumping around or chomping somewhere under our bed lately. Now I know what it was! |
* Bugguide.net: "My guess would be a Enaphalodes atomaurius based on the diffuse
pubescence pattern on the elytra and the bispinose elytra. Based on the
length of the antennae, you're probably looking at a female."

I saw a couple of those today on the sidewalk outside the restaurant where we had lunch.
Now that I know they were oak borers, I can't figure out why they were basking on concrete.
Bugs can be strange!
Are they poisonous to my cat?
I don’t think so.
