Big, bright metallic flying beetle with a bright yellow "vest" (stylish!) and long, black, segmented antennae. For scale, it is perched on a full-sized maple leaf. I did a quick search online, and couldn't pinpoint an ID, especially for a beetle found in Maine. Ideas?

Glad to help! I use Bugguide frequently for North American insect and spider ID. It is a very useful resource.
Thanks for solving my mystery, ForestDragon! I appreciate you sending me the link to the BugGuide site for future reference. Cool site.
Welcome to Project Noah, Sarah! This is a beautiful beetle you have found here. I hope I find one some time, hah! I hope you like it here. This is one of my favorite places.
