Hi! Is this a longhorn beetle that is detrimental to trees? It was on the exterior of our kitchen window this evening. We're in Chardon Township. Thank you!

As far as I can see from my research, this species poses no danger to trees. Rather, the larva eat dead wood, not living trees, making them beneficial decomposers in that regard.
