Bug found in house twice - beetle?
This is a long-horned wood-boring beetle (family Cerambycidae). Unfortunately, it has the appearance of a species called the old house borer (Hylotrupes bajulus). The larvae of this beetle can cause structural damage to wood in buildings; see https://entomology.ca.uky.edu/ef653 for detailed information.
