BeetlesBuprestidae Family??
Hi!
Your site rocks, even though I routinely lose 2-3 hours at a time reading it. I have always found the bugs I am looking for on your site, but not this one. It appears to be a member of the Buprestidae family, but like I said I couldn’t find an exact match. It was found near a wood-pile here on Vashon Island, WA, and it is sitting on a piece of styrofoam about 1-inch in diameter. Thanks for making such an awesome site.

Hi Matt,
Thank you so much for the compliment. This is a Buprestid, the Metallic Wood Boring Beetle Family. We believe it is in the genus Dicerca and are awaiting a confirmation from Eric Eaton.
