cool bug Sadie Kate. I have often seen them in pairs. they are actually not considered "good bugs" (they are beetles) because they eat trees.
They are asian longhorn beetles and they are an exotic pest.
(sigh)
This PNW gal actually got some sunburn. It has been so long since i've been out in the sun
i didn't remember what to do about it! KnottedYet was a great ride leader, careful and energetic despite her cold!

Mimi, I think this is the Oregon Fir Sawyer. Still not necessarily a good bug.
