Came to porch light, haven't seen it before.

asian long ear beetle
Just brought one home today after hiking/photographing at Ashley Reservoir, Holyoke, MA. Gave me a surprise. I was at my kitchen table viewing my shots in my camera viewfinder when an insect buzz came from my hair and the insect landed on my forearm. It wasn't aggressive but I didn't like it on my skin so I brushed it off and it landed on my white tile kitchen table. Caught it in a glass and photographed it. Got a positive identification At first I didn't quite know what it was but the bracketed white and black antennae looked familiar. I have the website to report the insect. I'm not letting it loose.

 
the one here is perfectly native and benign
