As this image will not enlarge, about all I can say is that it is a long-horned wood-boring beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae); likely in the subfamily Lamiinae - see http://tinyurl.com/n6c33u for an example.

Ah so - This appears to be Monochamus scutellatus - see http://tinyurl.com/mael9y for an image and http://tinyurl.com/n8t9mz for details on its life history.
