Snapshot: Short-horned longhorn beetle

I can across this while randomly picking at the bark of a dead koa tree. It’s a native cerambycid beetle (Parandra puncticeps). I thought it was interesting even though it’s part of the longhorn beetle radiation, it has short antennae. To my untrained eyes, I would have thought it was some kind of stag beetle. Thanks to Will Haines for the ID on this neat native insect.
