marliejaneca said:It looks like a caribbean version of a beetle we have here in NW Ontario called the pine beetle - except when element said the long horn beetle doesn't pose any threat - our version does. They take very large bites out of humans that hurt like heck !! My husband drove a nail through one on our deck, then put an large nail (2 penny for you carpenters out there) in its mouth (yes it has a mouth with pinchers built in!) and the beetle literally threw the nail around. I swear the nail weighed 10x more than the beetle - god, was it scary !! Our version is solid black so it is not quite the same but it sure does have the long atennas like ours have, and they range in size from about an inch to 2 1/2 inches long! I would be fumigating immediately!!
Good luck,
Marlie
