It looks very similar to this one I found ...

It's either that or one of the Longhorn beetles but the legs and antennae are brown (which was what threw me !).
I did look at the photo that you had posted, but the stripes on the beetle you spotted all line up. They don’t on the beetle that I spotted. It’s antennae are striped as well, which is another difference to yours.

Yes I think it's a Longhorn .. there are lots of different ones but the stripey antennae look a lot like this one ..

I spotted these in what appeared to be a mating frenzy the other day - anyone know what they may be ?
