Longhorn beetle (likely a prionid or related wood-borer)

Adults occur around wooded areas, logs, firewood, and lights at night; larvae develop inside dead or stressed wood.

Larvae feed on wood, especially dead or decaying timber. Adults usually feed little or may consume sap, nectar, or bark fluids.

Mostly nocturnal and often attracted to lights. Females lay eggs in bark or wood, where larvae tunnel for months to several years before pupating.

Usually harmless to people and does not sting. Larvae help decompose wood, though some species can damage structural timber, firewood, or stressed trees.
