Thanks!
I was so excited when I took the photo, as it looked like a "non-emerald ash borer"--so I put it up immediately. Then I looked at the other Agrilus on the Bugguide site and there it was! I really appreciate all the assistance with identifying insects at this site! Thanks!

Sure is the Agrilus ruficolli
Sure is the Agrilus ruficollis, the Red-necked cane borer.
