Moved from Dicerca. Frank's and Ted's opinions will almost always take precedence over mine.

Absolutely

Thanks
Thanks Jim. Just by browsing images, I like D. lurida, but I'll put it at the genus level for now.

Buprestis
Might be a Buprestis sp. Kind of looks like B. maculativentris although a bit elongate?

Frank is right...
...Buprestis for sure - likely B. maculativentris.
