Metallic Wood-boring Beetle - Chrysobothris quadriimpressa - Female
Spiderweb, Aiken County, South Carolina, USA
March 31, 2010
Size: ~12mm
Rescued from the pool.
Looks like Chrysobothris femorata species-group

Moved

from Joshua Basham:
"I can't be totally sure of the id since I can't look at the 8th abdominal tergite under the scope. But I would have to say it is a female Chrysobothris quadriimpressa Gory & Laporte. I know it isn't C. femorata and C. viridiceps. Doesn't really look like C. adelpha."
