BeetlesMetallic Green Longhorn Beetle
I found this metallic green beetle in 2001 just east of San Antonio in La Vernia, Texas. At the time I in the fifth grade and was doing a bug collection for school. I could not identify the bug, so I sent a picture of it to Texas A&M University’s Entomology department. I was soon sent a reply that the insect, which they had never seen before, was called a Metallic Green Longhorn Beetle. This year I am doing another insect collection for school and I would like to reuse the beetle because it is still in excellent condition. However the man from Texas A&M failed to send me the family or scientific name and I can not find it. Can you help?

Hi Claire,
Your photo is quite blurry and it is difficult be be certain, but we would bet money on Plinthocoelium suaveeolens.
