A Charred World - _TNY_1976
The ribbed pine borer (Rhagium inquisitor) is a longhorn beetle which here is quite common on recently felled spruce, but also on spruce and pine in areas damaged by forest fires.
In 2020, there was a small forest fire which was quite well contained between two small lakes in the Paradiset nature reserve in Huddinge, Sweden and now in 2021 I found this guy hanging out on one of the now black bark of a pine there.
If you zoom in on the side of the neck, you'll see that this one unfortunately has some parasitic mites there.
