Purple sheen, longhorn? - Physocnemum brevilineum
Kellyville/Heyburn State Park & Lake, Creek County, Oklahoma, USA
June 17, 2013
I've googled attributes and looked through the guide, I THINK this is a longhorn... but can't find it yet. In the light it has this nice royal purple sheen, pinched waist with deep elytral grooves. Really amazing.
