    Never seen this before. Found in an old Oregon white oak, down for almost 3 years. About an inch long. Any ideas what this thing is?

    I've seen these before but sorry, I don't know what it is other than a bug.

    It could be the ash borer. I've found several but this one just looks a bit different.

    Thanks guys. There’s a bunch of these things and the grubs in this wood. The chickens are loving life right now.

    Not sure how but, digging into the link from brenndatomu has got me to this.
