Buprestid beetles are similar to click beetles, but without the “click” mechanism or the sharp projections at the corners of the pronotum. Buprestid larvae are called “flatheaded borers”. They live in bark, wood, and sometimes the leaves of various plants. They may attack healthy trees and shrubs as well as dead or injured ones. Members of this genus are abundant, diverse, and widespread. Several are serious pests including the emerald ash borer and the two-lined chestnut borer.
