Can you help me identify this bug?
Hello!
My sister in law lives here in League City Texas nearby and has these bugs coming into her house. I am normally pretty good at identifying bugs but this one has me stumped…?? Can you help? Thank you in advance,

Hi Shannon,
Your beetle, a Red Headed Ash Borer, Neoclytus acuminatus, is a very effective wasp mimic. They are probably emerging from firewood.
