The larva of this long horned beetle feed under the bark of Douglas-fir. It is found through western North America -and despite the name that sounds quite pest-like, apparently it is not. The scientific name is Centrodera spurca. There you have it. If anyone knows any juicy tid bits about this relatively common showy beetle, please share!

Thanks for the nice photo - my husband just found one of these here in western Oregon where we also have a small acreage of oak woodland, and dougfir. I post some of my finds on my blog, I'm impressed you are doing one per day! May I put a link to this page? Thanks!
