Your letter to the bugman: Dear Bugman: I am just trying to identify this insect so that I can publish the photo in The Jamestown Sun newspaper. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Dear John S. Sun Photo Dude,
We quickly identified your Banded Longhorn, Typocerus velutinus, thanks to the image on Beetle Identification where it states: “This species is often found visiting flowers for nectar and are frequently seen in gardens. They also use dying hardwood trees like birch and sumac for laying eggs.”
