Mating purple and green beetles - Gaurotes cyanipennis - Male Female
Meduxnekeag Valley Nature Preserve, Belleville, Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada

These were in a large flowering bush at the roadside. I was with Reggie Webster on his collecting trip, and he commented that these beetles were Gaurotes cyanipennis. The male is purple and the female appears to be green.
