This was flying around the house the other night, I swatted it and got it outside. Tonight I found it around the front door (I'm assuming it's the same one). I don't know anything about bugs, but I'm guessing it's not native to the area. Sorry for the poor quality picture. I can try to get a better picture if you need me to, and I will try to answer any questions you have about it too. Thanks for the help. (Right now it's living in a mason jar)
