Size doesn't matter in this case (although the longhorned borer -- palo verde beetle - is much larger). If you look at the pronotum, there are no pointed lateral extensions which would be on that cerambycid species, Derobrachus geminatus. Louis N. Sorkin, B.C.E.

We have yet another mystery beetle in a different location this time-I have attached pictures-according to our security team this guy was found strolling around a gallery that has Samurai Armor. He was found on the floor. It is difficult to say if he is just one of the many beetles that are becoming more active due to rising temperatures as we begin our summer here in Arizona. Any clues would be much appreciated. Thank you!
