Identify please
I have these things crawling all over the back of my home and a few are making it inside. They fly, too. What are they? What do I do to get rid of them? Call an exterminator or spray something? Hurry, please. Thanks.

Hi Kay,
Your Painted Hickory Borer, Megacyllene caryae, looks nearly identical to the Locust Borer. Hickory Borers fly in the spring, and Locust Borers in the fall.
