Acmaeodera tubulus - Metallic Wood-Boring Beetle
University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS
My first Buprestid! Metallic Wood-Boring Beetles are some of the prettiest beetles you'll ever find. They range from a couple millimeters like this to being quite large in the tropical genera. I've been finding these on flowers a lot lately. I guess when it rains it pours!
