What is this, and should I kill it? = Flower Longhorn Beetle

It's hanging out around my crookneck plant.

Some sort of longhorn beetle. Its larvae may burrow in trees. Probably not a pest on your squash...

Oh good, glad I didn't squish it! Very glad to hear that it won't hurt the squash, and lucky for me, I have no trees. Thanks for the help!
