Megacyllene robiniae
Adults lay their eggs in locust trees in the fall, later the larvae will hatch and spend the winter hibernating within the bark.

This locust borer landed on the window of a work truck just as we were finishing up the day. I live just around the corner so I put it in an old coffee cup and brought it home for some photos. It's the first time I've seen this species.
