Information:  Often found in prairie lands, agricultural fields, forests, wetlands and tributaries, meadows, and urban areas. Dorsal colouration highly variable, not consistent per location or region, many different colourations may be found within a single area.

Description: body: glossy, metallic, generally a mixture of bright colours dorsally, the most common colour scheme tends to be green pronotum, green head, pink elytra with bright green margins; ventral face fully black; elongate-ovate, slender.  Head triangular, elongated; dorsal surface smooth; eyes not particularly small, but reduced, not bulging laterally; two setae over each eye; two fovea+seta on the clypeus, one inside of either lateral margin. Mandibles weakly curved; labrum black, not glossy.  Antennae metallic green or blue; antennal pubescence begins on the second antennomere following the pedicel. Pronotum circular; front margin curved weakly inward or nearly straight; front angles obtuse; lateral margins round; hind angles obtuse; basal margin weakly sinuate. Lateral beading of the pronotal disk nearly complete, ending abruptly before the lower median bulge. Median line thin, shallow, slightly wrinkled along the margins of the median line; small, rough depressions may be seen on either side of the median bulge. Scutellum exposed. 8 shallow, but fairly well-defined striae per elytron; intervals flat; interval 3 should have 3-5 small fovea which touch either stria 2 or 3, but the placement of number of fovea between the elytra is neither consistant within populations, not within the same indvidual; one specimen may have five fovea on one elytron, while also having three on the opposite elytron. Humeral shoulder rounded, apices weakly sinuate, somewhat rounded. Ventral colouration glossy black, sometimes with metallic blue or green reflections; limbs present similar colouration.
