great shots
I don't know how you do it - great stuff. I 'm going to have to review this later - this may actually be in the genus Paragrilus - will place in Agrilus for now.

Hey Tom, this is an Agrilus b
Hey Tom, this is an Agrilus bilineatus (Weber). Also known as the Two-lined Chestnut borer. I agree with Philip that your shots are really great.

Thanks Joshua
I found this during a butterfly walk in the Assabet NWR with the refuge manager leading the trip. Needless to say, I didn't even try to collect anything that day.
