I found these little guys splitting oak today for a customer. Looks like a locust borer.

Thought they were wasps at first... then took a closer look... Funny thing was, some yellow jackets/meat bees were hovering as we were doing the firewood about two hours in... :/: Wonder if they knew we were exposing food for them :/:

Last pic is off a web site seeing I had so much fun taking a picture :P

That larva makes me think of The Wrath of Khan. Wouldn't want one hitching a ride home on your clothes, then hiding in your hair, and crawling in your ear when you're sleeping.
