Thanks bayucca, et al. Leptoglossus phyllopus does seem to be the best match. Would you say this was one as well? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/15825047

Definitely Leptoglossus sp. and I agree with Phyllopus, which is the only one with this more or less straight white stripe. All other ones have no stripe or a stronger zig-zag stripe.
