Originally reported as Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis)
Submitter has sample
The beetle is 3/4 of an inch long, iridescent green with a red stripe down the middle of his back.
There are a number of iridescent green look-alike beetles in Oregon that are not pests. I am attaching a link to the ODF EAB webpage with some photos of other Oregon insects that could be mistaken for EAB
