Hi,
I came across this critter today. It's around 2-3 inches, Looks like it can fly also. It's not afraid of me at all.

Thanks for your help.

This long-horned wood-boring beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) appears to be one of the sawyers in the genus Monochamus, such as Monochamus carolinensis - see http://www.forestryimages.org/browse/detail.cfm?imgnum=5203073
