Metallic Wood-boring Beetle (Brachys aerosus)

This is a very small Buprestid beetle who is mainly associated with red oaks. I found this one in a wooded area near Mer Bleue, where a few red oak were present. This one is not on a red oak.

He looks like weathered metal. Very shiny. I can see how it got its name. V.
