Re: help idenify this insect please

Thanks for the information Keith. These bugs have been driving me a little
nuts for a while. I first saw them around my condo unit a few years ago, but
this year they have been seen in much greater numbers around here and many
more than usual have managed to get into the house.. Now I at least know
their name and know that hey are relatively harmless.
