net-winged beetle? - Calopteron terminale

net-winged beetle? - Calopteron terminale
Albion, Calhoun County, Michigan, USA
September 8, 2015
This beautiful blue and orange insect came to visit yesterday. It seems to be eating the raspberry leaves - at least there is a big gash in the leaf it seems to be eating. It didn't seem to react while I took a few pictures. I looked it up under net-winged beetles, and found some pictures but not one with this pattern. The others seemed to have blue markings on the large orange section. Can you find me a name for it? Thanks in advance!
