[QUOTE="pannaking22, post: 297622, member: 8172"] I catch them mostly for a pinned collection, but it's also to help figure out what species we have in Illinois. I've helped out the Hanks' lab at UIUC a few times by collecting cerambycids and bringing them in for research purposes. No one has looked at the buprestids of Illinois, so it's interesting to try to catch what I can and ID them to make a bit of a species list. That's always the challenge of the beat sheet since everything is trying to escape as quickly as possible. You're welcome, glad I was able to ID it! They're a fun beetle to come across. Great color/patterning and they're a good size too. [/QUOTE]
