This moth (?) evidently came in on the firewood. What kind of bug is this ? I could not find an image on the internet but I don’t know what search words to use.

Dear Kurious Jo,
Based on this BugGuide image, we feel quite confident this is a male Introduced Pine Sawfly, Diprion similis. According to BugGuide: “adventive from Europe; ne. US (ME-MN to NC-TN) + WA; in Canada, NF-MB & BC.” We first reported the larvae in Washington in 2008.
