It’s really bugging me, but does anyone know what this beetle is called?
Is it maybe Buprestis aurulenta? Or?
It was lying dead on my deck. I’m on Vancouver Island, so if you want to check it out the I.D. of the beetle, you’ll have an idea of the area where this bug was found.
The greenish-blue colours of the wings are gorgeous, as is the coppery underbelly. What an amazing outfit it’s wearing.
I welcome any suggestions if anyone knows what it is.
It’s about a little over an inch long.
What do you think it might be?
