This looks like a pine weevil or something... Not a bug guy. It's like 4-5" long with large wings.
@thendrix It's not a Pine Beatle so you don't need to do a controlled burn. Pine Beatles are black and I've never seen one that flew.
@AmpBenzScientist Yeah, I tried to correct myself as they're not the same bug even if people call them that.
It was found under one of my tea trees.

@AmpBenzScientist Camellia sinensis
@thendrix I did not know that it was a tree. How well does it grow here?
@AmpBenzScientist Likely better if we didn't have storms beating the crap out of them... if it lives another year I'll let you know.
@thendrix We live in a humid subtropical climate apparently. Should be close enough.
@thendrix Apparently well enough to become a tree.
