What on earth is this thing?

I agree, carpenter bees;they are indeed quite harmless, however, they are also very dumb. If you get them inside a screened in lanai, your car, or your hale you will have a hard time getting them out. They are very annoying because of the incredible buzzing noise they generate, and you'll be temporarily terrified everytime they whhhhhzzzz past you!

Great post.
