Commentary

Thank you for your report! Without a photo or specimen or associated damage to ash trees, it's not possible to confirm EAB. 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

Thanks for being on the lookout!
