This is the California Prionus; Prionus californicus. This native beetle is found in most of the PNW where there are forest and urban trees. It is native to our region. They will not harm blueberry bushes. They are found in the late summer and fall. They are one of our largest beetles. They feed on the roots of broad-leaved trees.
