Family Carabidae (Order Coleoptera). There's been mention of family info on some recent posts. On Thu, 12 May 2011 10:47:48 -0400, Diana Welsh wrote:This is a message from the Museumpests List.

(see attached image) The closest thing I can find to it in my bug guide and on the internet is a root borer but the color is not right. This little guy measures roughly 1 inch and is metallic copper and dark green in color. We want to make sure it isn't an insect that is harmful to museum collections. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you, Diana Welsh Collections Management Assistant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To send an email to the list, send your msg to pestlist@museumpests.Net To unsubscribe from this list send an email to pestlist@museumpests.net and in the subject put: "unsubscribe" - no quotes please.
