Borer
Grand Marais, Alger County, Minnesota, USA
August 6, 2018

Frassed
Moved from subgenus Buprestis.

Leaning toward Buprestis maculativentris, eventhough I can't tell if the abdomen has yellow spots laterally from the angle of the image.

Please go back to edit to include the county.

It is Buprestis, but not aurulenta. I can you crop this an reloat it? Only Editors can see the full size image, and this is far too zoomed out.
