A banded longhorn beetle crossing Queen Anne's lace. The beetle has an arrow shape as the wings taper at the bottom. Its thorax, head, and very long antennae are all black, while its legs are yellow. There is a thin light line going across the thorax near where it meets the wings. The wings are mostly brown with a few lighter spots at the top, middle, and bottom on each side.
