Index of Subjects --Apple-Mail-382--796451026 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Jeannie, This is a longhorn beetle (despite having relatively short "horns", i.e., antennae) in the family Cerambycidae, called Asemum striatum (L.). It is a very common and widely distributed longhorn beetle in the region (it is found throughout Nova Scotia) associated with various species of decaying conifers, especially pine. This specimen looks to have a moderate number of epiphytic uropodid mites attached to it. There is some information on their biology at: http://www.forestpests.org/poland/pinelongasemum.html And some photographs located at: http://www.zin.ru/animalia/Coleoptera/eng/asestrob.htm Did you find it in Port Hawkesbury or Cape George? Cheers!
