I am not sure why, but I cannot see the photo when I open the link. I just get the grey imgur background but the photo doesn't load. Can anyone else see it? Perhaps the privacy settings are on so only the owner can view the photo? nickname, Please tell us where in the world the bug was photographed, that is important for correct identification. Adam.

It's a Cerambycid (longicorn beetle) belonging to the subfamily Prioninae. It might be one of the species of the genus Mallodon. I'm not a specialist in this group of beetles, though.

Good to know that someone can see the photo, maybe it's a browser problem even though I can access the imgur homepage and my photos without any problems.
If the location is added I expect someone will be able to give a more accurate identification.
Adam.

Thank you livingplanet3 for quick reply. Should I be concerned and run to a doctor. No need to go to a doctor at this point. This species of tick is known to transmit Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, but it's a fairly rare disease; currently, there are only around six cases per million people per year in the US. Just watch for any signs of symptoms, which if they are going to occur, would most likely start within less than a week of being bitten by an infected tick. RMSF is typically treated with the antibiotic doxycycline, which is quite effective against it. Again though - infections with RMSF are rather rare.
