Long metallic green beetle with orange legs and black joints - Lytta sayi

Long metallic green beetle with orange legs and black joints - Lytta sayi
Near Saint John, Southern County, New Brunswick, Canada
June 6, 2017
Size: 2-3 inches
I found this long-bodied metallic-ish green beetle with orange legs and black joints outside in our garden. His feet were rather peculiar... he sort of had claws on the end of each limb, which he used to grip onto leaves (he was quite strong!). The flower tag he is walking on is irrelevant. Hope you can help me identify him!
