Longhorned Beetle (likely Brown Prionid or similar species)

Found in deciduous and coniferous forests, often near decaying wood or logs where larvae develop.

Larvae (grubs) eat decaying wood of various trees; adults may feed on nectar or tree sap, though some adults do not feed at all.

Active primarily at night (nocturnal) and frequently attracted to artificial lights. They have a multi-year life cycle spent mostly in the larval stage inside wood.

Generally harmless to humans but can deliver a strong pinch with mandibles if handled. They play a beneficial role in ecosystems by aiding in the decomposition of dead timber.
