Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

1/2 inch brilliant green beetle that resembles the EAB. I looked online and it matched the pics.

Commentary

Thank you for your report! There are a number of iridescent green look-alike beetles in Oregon that are not pests. I am attaching a link to the ODA EAB webpage with some photos of Oregon insects that could be mistaken for EAB
