A whole bunch of these fellows crawled out of some firewood logs that were drying out in our garage. Can anyone identify them? BTW, awesome website!

Hi John,
The Flat Headed Borer, Buprestis rufipes, is a new species for us. This metallic wood borer breeds in a variety of hardwood trees in the Eastern U.S. north to Pennsylvania and west to Texas.
