Moved from Locust Borer.
The pattern and colors of these two species are only slightly different, but the season is very significant. Please don't move this image again.

Wrong time of the year?
Maybe Megacyllene caryae - Hickory Borer?

Good catch!
Yes, I agree, the hickory borer.

Locust borer
My wood pile is full of these borers here in April. Both these and the red-headed ash borers...I went on bugguide and it looks identical to the megacyllene robiniae images. Thank you for your interest.
