Great find! I'll be in Gulfpo
Great find! I'll be in Gulfport and Biloxi for a few days the first week of February and this gives me hope of finding some beetles. Any certain areas you know I should check out?

Buprestis striata
This looks like Buprestis striata. This is a copper variant. They can have copper, metallic purple, or bright rainbow hues as in . I'm jealous you are out finding beetles now. Up here in Maine we will be buried in snow until April!
