Chalcophora georgiana
Approximately 3 cm 1.25 inches long.
Unknown.
I captured this beetle with nothing but my hat. I have also found one of these beetles in Olalla Washington.
Buprestidae, Chrysochroinae, Chalcophora sp., cannot exactly tell you which one. Close is Angulicollis (range??) and Georgiana.
