i have begun getting into the habit of photographing as many different animals as i come across, and have realized that i have alot to learn. there are so many creatures and it is so difficult to find out what they are. i'm sure as i get more books that this will be easier over time, but for now, i need some help. first on the agenda is this beetle. it is about an inch and a half long and the ends of its short antenae are feathered. the pinchers are menacing and its shell is a deep burgundy. i have two specimens that were found in downtown portland. can you tell me what it is?
Cerambycidae "Longhorn Beetle" - Parandra (neandra) brunnea
