Hi Charles. Have it on good authority (Allen Sundholm) that this species is C. tricolor, a fairly common species in your neck of the woods. I note you have only confirmed to genus?

Yes at the time we had an issue with the website not allowing new species to be added, I will get around to it tonight and fix the ID for you. There is a site which helps ID some of the Jewel beetles you might like.
