What is this Bug
I found this bug on the locust tree in my back yard. There is quite a few of them on the tree. Have you any idea what it is?

Hi R.B.,
The Locust Borer, Megacyllene robiniae, is a beetle. The larvae bore in the wood of black locust trees and adults are often found on goldenrod in the fall.
