Field Notes

Description:

A lovely orange and gray member of the Cerambycidae family, Saperda tridentata, the Elm Borer, is quite a distinctive species.

Notes:

Lifer! The last photo is one I took at the night before. The other photos are of the same individual the next day. I caught it and observed it in a cup. The next morning, I took some photos and it safely flew away.
