There are more pictures of this guy posted over on the Texas Forum. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1032145/

The sections on the cutting board under the insect are 7/8" wide.

Thanks

Jerry

This appears to be a squash vine borer, Melitta curcurbitae or Melittia calabaza (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), very common garden pests, primarily in hollow-vined members of the squash family - see http://tinyurl.com/nv2kjc for detailed information.

Thanks. It was found where I had a zucchini growing in one of my straw bales.
