The 'Longhorn' of the beetle family
Last week while barbecuing on my patio I was suddenly alarmed by an uninvited guest that flew in and landed on my pavers beside the table next to the grill. The big bug started screeching an alarming sound. The disturbing guest was a robust, reddish brown, almost black colored bug. He appeared to be a giant beetle with unusually long antennas.
