Description:
This one is bugging me because I know I've seen it identified somewhere -- the absurdly long antennae are memorable -- but I can't remember what it is. It's not in my insect book (what a piece of junk). The species is interesting because I only noticed it on the inflorescences of Pyrularia pubera, buffalo nut. Not sure if it is an exclusive pollinator, but it seemed to prefer this species over the abundant array of other choices in the woods.
