Rest in Peace
Can anyone identify the critter in the attached picture? Our Chihuahua found it in the grass in the backyard and was trying to play with it.

I believe it is a Cottonwood Borer, Plectrodera scalator.

That was certainly quick, and you obviously nailed it. Thank you. I believe it's the first one I've seen and it was in the grass in our backyard, about where I had a big old weeping willow tree removed last October. However, there are several cottonwoods in the neighborhood, including a big one in the front yard of the next door neighbor.
