It's a Metallic Wood-boring Beetle, Buprestis aurulenta.

Jan-

 

Yes, sure is, and that photo is one of the nicer I've seen of one.

 

Incidentally, rather than being Drakes, I believe your mayfly photos to be of Hexagenia, likely H. limbata. Although Ephemera are in the same family, they would have (3) tails in their winged life stages, whereas Hexagenia have only (2).

Hexegenias, cool. Thanks for the help. I was unsure just exsactly what kind they were, so now I know.

There really pretty. haha Mayflies here in the last few weeks I have found 5 or 6 Mayflies in the sink of my bathroom but they have only been in the winged stage and I'm not sure where they have been coming from. If I could get some hints on where they have been coming from I would appreciate it.
