Evidently, Acalolepta... difficult from this positions, but you have already inserted pictures of species like that.
Possibly, Acalolepta rusticatrix. |

| Thank you, Francesco. Sorry, can't remember. I checked my flickr first before posting for help on ID. Didn't find any match in my Flickr. |

Was the Cerambycid going to lay egg in the hole, Francesco?

According to the features of elytra and scutellum, I think this is Acalolepta rusticatrix, too.
By the way, Kurt, did the beetle stay on the live tree or dead tree? |

Thanks Kurt.
In addition to this, your beetle seems a male by the length of antennae of this species. |

| Thanks for the info, Beckey. So it couldn't be laying egg then. Must be feeding on the tree. |
