Large Brown Longhorn Beetle (Macrotoma palmata) Family Cerambycidae
LOL!! That is actually its name and not my description of it. They are nocturnal and are attracted to lights. It is a wood boring beetle and found mostly on Acacia trees. The larvae possess and enzyme for digesting cellulose. It is fairly large, just over an inch in body length.
