Description of specimen
Looks just like the photo online. Was flying around the ceiling on my back deck. I sprayed it with wasp killer.
I will put it in the freezer.
I am attaching a link to the ODA EAB webpage with some photos of other Oregon insects that could be mistaken for EAB

Thanks for being on the lookout!
