Shining metallic blue and turquoise beetle. About 3 cm long (1.17 inch).
Oak forest
Thank you Amy Rollins for the ID and the link. It really looks very similar, but I found that the shape of the head is different and the size of the eyes are different as well.
Gordon Dietzman, thank you for the pointer. I will look it up and see what it is.
I'm not familiar with insects found in this area, but am wondering if it is a blue-margined ground beetle (Pasimachus). I'd search a bit using that as a criteria and see what you come up with. Will be curious what you find out. Nice photo!
