I'd really like to know where this guy'said been hiding and why I've never seen one before, and if I'll now see them on a regular basis.

Found this bug on my front screen door late this morning. I heard that it was also there last night. We live in a rural city north of Pittsburgh, PA - no grapevines handy. I've never seen this type before.

Here was a "fine looking" fellow whose size set him apart, and then his proximity to our grapevines further concerned us.
Thanks for having a clear image for us to compare.
Though I'm impressed with her/him and admire her/his "beauty" there will be no return trip to the trellis.
We will submit a photo with a U.S. quarter coin for size comparison.
