Brian, Perhaps not the most artistic photo in your portfolio but it certainly is fascinating. Obviously you take what you can get for lighting when a four friggin' inch insect in boring holes into your property! Thank you so much for sharing this image with us. I'd love to study the details on the full size image.

Ray, the beast was about three to four inches long. Had to get in *real close" to take this one. The slight shadow to the left was caused by the camera's barrel. The bug's deep black color and the bright background made the use of the flash mandatory.
Artie, not eating - boring :-). Creating a nice little spot to deposit baby beetles. If you look closely, you can see the beast's butt sticking into the greenheart. Longhorn woodborers can be found all over the world, but they aren't usually this big, I think :-).

Now this is the most excellent shot that I could not get in a 1,000 years - not even with a 1000mm lens and long distance wireless remote control. Anything with up to 4 legs and 2 eyes I can handle, but this, no way. Which is probably partly why I admire it so - the rest (most part) being such an incredible picture. So, how long is this monster?
