Beetle

This is a Mesquite Beetle. They come down out of the trees and can sometimes be seen on the ground. Earlier stages of this insect eat mesquite beans, but this one is fully grown and ready to mate. Unfortunately for him, this one ran afoul the chemical barrier around our house instead of a girl friend.

Identification was by a Board Certified Master Arborist who came to quote on some tree trimming.
