Found this metallic almost Rastafarian type beetle wandering around on the floor of my room. I tried to look it up but wasn’t able to find anything similar to this bug I found so I was hoping you may know.

Dear Paige,
Could you please be a bit more specific about the location.  Washington?  British Columbia???  This is a Golden Buprestid, Buprestis aurulenta, one of the Jewel Beetles, and you can read more about it on BugGuide.
