Metallic Wood-boring Beetle - Actenodes acornis
Newark, New Castle County, Delaware, USA
June 19, 2016
on fox grape at the edge of a wooded area with too much dead wood

this one in the guide has a blue spot between wings(1)
don't know if it's anything to hang a hat on
(edit: but it does have the same funky thigh and the antennae look interesting)
