Thank you for your report! EAB overwinters as a grub inside its galleries and would not be active as an adult beetle right now, but this is the reason that firewood should not be moved.

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!
