Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Batocerini. This is in my eyes safe. And it is most probably not a Batocera sp., but an Apriona sp. Please, verify! https://www.flickr.com/photos/53906044@N04/5189751596 https://www.flickr.com/photos/53906044@N04/5189751286 Might be Apriona rixator, but that's only a tentative guess... http://www.cerambycoidea.com/foto.asp?Id=522
