my mother saw a bug that was about 1 1/2"-2" in length and was shaped like a beetle. it was black and there was 1 single red dot on each of the wings. can anyone help. we live in connecticut.

Do you have a picture? A picture would help.

i have no pictures of it i am sorry

That's too bad.

All I can suggest is to google it. Put as much description into the google as possible. Go to images under google and it should show tons of pictures of bugs that match the description you put in.

Without having seen it, I really can't tell you what it is. Sorry.

Good luck.

I'm betting it's something in the longhorn beetle clan, but
1. It's a guess.

and
2. Even if I'm right there are a BUNCH of different longhorn beetles.
