thanks Carol, it was around 5-6 cm. body shape was very slender. I was used to seeing big fat bulky beetles... this was rare for me..

Thank you Martini for the ID and the info... I shall be careful. I won't want my fingers between those pincers made to chew through tough woods. :)

What a beauty. That is the catch of the day. These longicorn beetles larvae are grubs inside live trees. They have powerful pinchers for chewing through wood, so watch your fingers.
