CLOSED: What is this flying thing?

Georgetown, TX

I am clearing out a new country property and I keep coming across odd spiders and bugs I've never seen. This was about 2 inches long and a hard shell over the wings.

This is a long-horned wood-boring beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) known as the red-headed beauty (Stenaspis verticalis insignis) - see http://tinyurl.com/amaslh
