@melodraca submitted: I didn't know these guys bit until my family informed me after this one landed on me for a surprise photo-shoot 🥲 thankfully I remain bite-free

location: southern alberta

They do have mandibles that can bite, yes! But I've never been bitten. They don't have venom or anything so I can't imagine it would hurt that much beyond a sharp pinch. Handsome fella either way!

For those unaware, this is a white-spotted sawyer beetle, which is a type of longhorn beetle.
