I didn't
Realize these enjoyed a nice broom habitat. They seem to be coming to the lights at my house frequently about 60 miles NE of yours this past month.

where bug was found
This big guy was stuck in a spider web on the outside of a window at my parent's house. My dad got it down with the broom. This sure is a scary looking bug. I had never seen one before.
