More whitespotted sawyer beetle images
Here is a another great whitespotted sawyer beetle image, sent in by Mary Malley:
This is a specimen we inspected earlier today, also whitespotted pine sawyer:
Note the distinct white half-moon shape at the top of the wing covers, behind the neck.
Here is an Asian longhorned beetle for comparison (this photo was taken in August 2008 – ALB is not expected to emerge from the trees until July):
Note that Asian longhorned beetle is a much shinier black than the whitespotted sawyer. It is also missing that distinct white half-circle at the top of its wing covers, and it has a bluish tinge to its feet.
