Agrilus carpini
Agrilus carpini is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, first described by Josef Knull in 1923. It belongs to the hyperdiverse genus Agrilus, which contains nearly 4,000 described species and is considered one of the largest genera in the animal kingdom. The species is known from North America, with records from Canada (Ontario, Québec) and the United States. Like other members of the genus, it likely develops as a larva in woody plant material, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
