Metallic Wood-boring Beetles
Buprestidae
46.338, -95.6702
Field Notes
Description:
A metallic-looking beetle (?) missing its left wing
Habitat:
On a milkweed leaf in a large area of native prairie grasses and very close to fresh water (Lake Blanche)
Notes:
I found more metallic-looking beetles this year than ever before but that may have simply been the fact that I was searching harder than I had been in previous years for interesting or beautiful insects to photograph and not due to any explosion in numbers, genetic alteration or environmental changes that had occurred.
