I think it is a Cerambycinae, Trachyderini. You have to check some other links/literature from your area (maybe agricultureing?) to verify the species. In the links there are some others. Besides, yours might be a juvenile (?) less colored as the adult one. Since bugs are for me just a hobby, I am not as familiar with them as I am with butterflies. Good luck!
