This Locust Tree Borer obligingly posed on a locust tree this evening. Despite their black and yellow bee mimicry, these borers can be identified by the W pattern in their yellow stripes.
Locust tree borers insert their eggs into live locust trees. When the eggs hatch the larvae will bore through the wood as they feed.
Adult borers feed on goldenrod pollen.
