Agrilus politus on Jun 12, 2024

Originally reported as Metallic Wood Borers (Family Buprestidae)

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

Looks like it might be EAB, but also looks like it could be A. cyanescens. Pictures of A. cyanescens online make that beetle look wider/fatter than what I found. Hoping you can advise.

Commentary

Most likely Agrilus politus but without a specimen it is very difficult to say with total certainty. We can at least say for sure that it's not an EAB. Thanks for keeping an eye out!
