Description of specimen
Green skinny beetle. Very metallic! Looked just like the picture of Emerald Ash Borer.
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 other Oregon insects that could be mistaken for EAB

Thanks for being on the lookout!
