Jewel beetle (Buprestid sp.)

Jeewa sent me this photo today and I was happy to tell her it was a Buprestid beetle, a new one for our FWG list. They are beautiful jewel-like beetles, and vary in size. Fortunately, this one is not green, which could indicate the Emerald Ash borer. Most Buprestids are not invasive or problematical, the way the ash-borer is. And yes, the ash borers are Buprestids.
