Hardwood Heartwood Buprestid
Texania campestris is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. The common name "hardwood heartwood buprestid" reflects its association with hardwood trees and its larval development within heartwood tissue. It is distributed across North America, with records from the United States and Canada. The species is notable for its large size among buprestids and its role as a host for predatory fly larvae.
