do you know?
Hi,
Love your site! I could browse for hours. My Dad and I found this bug on some firewood logs. It was running all over the log so quickly we could hardly keep up. When we tried to catch it, it flew away kinda clumsy. Hope you can help. Thanks,
Leland

Hi Leland,
Though it is a beetle, the Red Headed Ash Borer is considered a mimic of a stinging wasp because of its protective warning coloration and markings and its behavior. The species is Neoclytus acuminatus.
