White bodied brown stripes with wings?
My wife and I have found a bug on our porch, and for the life of us we cannot figure out what it is! It almost looks kind of like a grasshopper head but the body looks like it’s from something else. I will include a picture of it, and have saved it in a glass jar. We are wondering if it is poisonus as we have a four year old child and would not want to see it bite/sting her. Any information would greatly be appreciated. Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,
The Round Headed Apple Tree Borer, Saperda candida, is not poisonous.
