Beetle ID please? (Cambs. UK) (2 Viewers)

[DoghouseRiley]

Hi All

I found this beetle plowing its way through some umbellifers in Holme Fen (if you want beetles.....
the place to go. 8 large beetles within an hour and I wasn't really looking hard).

So this one was about 15-20mm, entirely black apart from the scutellum and under the pronotum
- these are golden in colour. I though that might make it easier to ID............. not so.

Could someone take a look and ID for me?

Thanks, Gareth

It's the longhorn beetle Stictoleptura scutellata.

Thanks aeshna5. I looked through tons of images online for long-horn beetles and every picture I saw should this beetle as all black. I google Stictoleptura scutellata up come loads of pictures with the gold accent. Anyways, thanks again....
