Foe the past two weeks, I find these beetles flying around in my house.  It is some sort of wood borer, I am pretty sure.   About an inch long, it has antennae that is articulated, its body is bullet shaped, with two bands of browns, one darker than the other.  I figure Spring is around the corner.  I heat with Ash, White Birch(masonry stove) and Hickory for the wood stove.  I tried looking this guy up on the internet, with no luck.  Found about 3-4 so far.  Any ideas?

Bark borers are very specie specific, and quite beautiful (as long as they are NOT in your wood slabs).
