Buprestis apricans?
I think this is B. apricans but I am not sure. I think apricans is usually bigger and I don't know if it ranges as far north as Maryland. The underside is brassy with no other markings. I hope Joshua Basham or Rick Westcott will help me out. I don't know how long it was in the spider web but all the legs and antennae fell apart when I tried to clean it off. Still it made a nice specimen after some elmers glue.

What were we saying about luc
What were we saying about luck? I think this is B. apricans also but to be sure I'll forward it to Rick. He's been asking me to hunt one of these down for him for about 2 years now. Great find, great job putting it back together, and great photo.
