Hi Brian,

This is a male White-spotted Sawyer beetle (Monochamus s. scutellatus  
(Say)), a member of the longhorned beetle family (Cerambycidae). This  
is probably the commonest longhorn in Nova Scotia. The larvae feed on  
the inner bark of many species of dead and dying conifers,  
particularly pine.

Cheers,

Chris
