The following insect picture was taken at moth bait on a tree at night.
I've never seen an insect like this. It is about three-eights inch long. The antenna are as long as the head and thorax together.

Can't help you with the identity of this insect. Your photo is very clear. Mahalo for sharing.

I am thinking this carpenter ant: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1605185/bgimage
Interesting activity, baiting moths. Never tried it, and I would like to.

Hi Mark:
Thanks for the ant info.
Google Moth Bait and you will get info.
Usually a mixture of dark brown sugar, over ripe bananas, beer and dark molasses.
let it ferment for a day then paint it onto a tree trunk and observe at night.
