Monochamus scutellatus (White-spotted Sawyer)
This large White-spotted Sawyer came flying in like a bomber and landed on my car in Brighton, Utah.
Larvae of these beetles feed on dead or freshly cut conifers and the mature beetle feeds on bark and needles
of living conifers. According to the Department of Agriculture, wounds caused by the adult can introduce
disease which can eventually kill the trees. Follow this link to an excellent article on this sawyer.
