Metallic Borer BeetlesInteresting Find
Here are a couple of bugs I found at work. I couldn’t ID them myself. I thought the one may be a Metallic Wood Borer, but the markings didn’t match up. HELP ME BUG MAN! thanks

Hi Chad,
There are many species of Metallic Wood Boring Beetles in the family Buprestidae. Your specimen is Buprestis rufipes. It is nice to get your living specimen photo since the last one we received was dead. Your other insect, which we cannot post due to time constraints, is a tree cricket.
