Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

Emerald Ash Borer. I saw one in my yard. Apparently the area where I live used to be wet lands.

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
