Reflective Green Borer Beetle - Trachykele blondeli

Reflective Green Borer Beetle - Trachykele blondeli
Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, USA
September 20, 2018
I found it as I was walking into the back yard. It flew through a lattice fence and into the neighbor's back yard. It landed on a spartan juniper, next to a cicada exuvia. I coaxed it back over and brought it in for photos.

I believe it to be a Western Cedar Borer, Trachykele blondeli. If it is that, I don't know how to verify subspecies.
