I thought the same thing. But I haven't seen one like it since.

Thanks for your research Eric. I think its the same. Is English Brenda an entomologist?
It might be good to have such a forum here dedicated to bugs.

Thanks merrytexan

I found information of this bug. It’s called a White Spotted Sawyer. Starts out as a larvae eating dead wood, then transformes to what you see above. This one is the larger male.
