Don't Want to Use fir Bait

[Squamishpoacher]

Not really something I think I'll need to worry about duplucating because it would likely scare fish away.

I was sawing and splitting some large fir rounds that have been down in the yard for about 3 years when this creature popped out. It's about 2.5 inches long and it's got a nasty looking set of pinchers at the end of its enlarged head. I've never seen one of these before. Anyone know what it is?

I'd guess Longhorn Beetle larva?

Pat, I'd like to buy an "I".



It looks like a Berkley Powerbait product.

A little looking around the world-wide web has told me this is a flathead wood borer.

When they hatch into their beetle form they look even nastier. Investors seen them up to 2 inches long, and in the evening enjoying a fire along the Gallatin watched a bat grab one.

Pupae.
