That is weird looking. Any idea what it is?

None yet.

Still crawling google.

Kinda looks like a wasp without wings O_o;

That's what I thought at first!

Almost looks like some sort of Longhorn Beetle.

Zebra Flower Longhorn Beetle I think.

You know your bugs: It does look like a zebra flower longhorn beetle, but it's too small and not quite the same.

Hmmmm.

you're right, its not quite the same as a zebra flower longhorn beetle. In particular, its legs are disproportionately large, and the pattern is slightly off. very close tho, spiketxtyger ^^ you're in the right family of beetles. If I'm right tho, its a different subfamily.

It's definitely in the Longhorn beetle family (fancy name Cerambycidae). Have a look at the genus Clytus and the genus Neoclytus (you can just do a google image search). From what I can see, this beetle should be in one of those two categories (I think its in Neoclytus personally). But i'm not familiar enough with this group to know for sure.

The yellow stripey coloration is mimicry for self defense; many animals avoid these patterns because they're so much like bees/wasps. Its a good defense. It's also the first thing that throws people off. The second thing that throws people off is the huge legs, which make it look like a cricket or grasshopper. But it's 100% a longhorn beetle. </nerdly outburst>

neat to see a bug pic ^^ even tho its not furry

I think it's a type of Cricket o.o

Not sure. Crickets usually have wings, and don't usually have a conical-shaped abdomen, but the head shape looks like a cricket's for sure, and the back legs are cricket-esque.

Maybe it's a mix breed? o.o CAPTURE IT FOR SCIENCE!

I freed it to encourage peace and understanding between our two great species.

Bah! Thats no fun. The Scientists will not be pleased!

I'm actually pretty okay with it. :3

Maybe a camel cricket? Pretty sure it's a cricket of some type at least.

I duno, when looking to identify a cricket you typically look for wings, and 2-3 tails on the back of the abdomen.

Cerambycid beetle, Neoclytus mucronatus.

You nailed it. : )

Its mimicking a yellow wasp.

Yeah, well. You're mimicking a butt.


Sorry, I lost my temper. :(

wut do?

Its a alien ....KILL IT!!!

No. x(

It's an innocent beetle ALEX. DONT BE A BUTTHOLE.

I saw a bug once that was real skinny but about like 2 inches long. And clear.

How many legs, antennae, body segments or wings did it have?

no wings, I think six legs. Don't know about segments.

MECHWORRIOR!!!!!!!!

sorry misspelled it Mechwarrior ^w^;;

I think the answer may seem simple but I may be wrong, I think its a young wasp beetle

I will consult the all knowing weasel.

I fecking love insects. <3 And good call on the fur who said it was a longhorn beetle. o.o I'm still working on my skillz with regard to identification.

On a side note, best invertebrate ever... Pseudoscorpionidae! <3 I was playing with them for almost a week in Wales earlier this year for a project cataloguing abundances and looking for edge effects on woodland floor invertebrate species. :)
