Description of specimen

At first I thought it was a weird lookin beetle with gorgeous shiny green turquoise color. Then did a quick google remembering EAB invasion and it matches my picture.

Commentary

Thanks for being on the lookout! Without more information, especially pictures or a collected specimen, it really isn't possible to identify. Check out these following resources:
