Locust Borer

Locust Borer
The adult Locust Borer feeds on goldenrod.  Their appearance makes them stand out as you can see.

They lay their eggs under the bark of the black locust tree where they hatch at the end of winter.  The larvae live there after winter ends burrowing into the trunk.  They pupate in mid-summer and emerge in time to catch the goldenrod in bloom.
