Acmaeodera mojavei
Acmaeodera mojavei is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Westcott in 1971. It is a member of the large genus Acmaeodera, which contains over 150 species in North America and is particularly diverse in the southwestern United States and Mexico. The species is found in the Nearctic region, specifically in North America. Like other members of its genus, it is presumed to be associated with flowers as an adult and to have wood-boring larvae, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented.
