Metallic Borer Beetlesbug
Hello Bugman,
Here is a very colorful bug my friend Mark McCarthy photographed for me in West Virginia, USA. We are wondering if you could help us identify it and post it on whatsthatbug.com . Thank you.

Hi Troy,
This is one of the Metallic Wood Boring Beetles, Buprestis rufipes, the Red Legged Buprestis. According to BugGuide, it feeds on maple and birch.
