What is this? (pic attached)
Hi,
I found this bug in my house in Coopersburg, PA. I’ve never seen one before — I don’t know if it is anything unusual. I simply put it outside after I took a few pics. It was very docile, as if it was asleep or something (but it was clearly still alive). Thanks,
Robert Thornburg

Hi Robert,
This is a Red Headed Ash Borer, Neoclytus acuminatus. Flying adults are attracted to lights, which probably explains why it was in your house.
