I was huntng mushrooms along the Hocking river in Athens county Ohio when this guy flew up to check me out. By the time I got my camera out he had seen enough and was ready to move on. I did manage these two not so good shots. Anybody know this bug's Latin name?
Here's the other shot.
Desmocerus palliatus / Elderberry Borer
You can add its picture to Bugfiles here, if you like:

Thanks Claypa :)
If you ever need a mushroom ID, I do those.
That's a handsome insect. Good catch.
