Longhorn beetle (likely a prionine longhorn)

Woodlands, forest edges, and areas containing dead or dying hardwood; adults may be attracted to lights. Larvae live inside roots, stumps, or buried wood.

Larvae feed on woody tissue, especially roots and decaying or stressed hardwood. Adults generally feed little or may consume sap, foliage, or bark.

Mostly nocturnal; males often have strongly serrated antennae and may locate females by scent. Larvae develop underground or within wood for several years before pupating.

Harmless to people and incapable of stinging, though adults can pinch if handled. Larvae help decompose woody material, but some species damage tree roots and timber.
