I hadn’t seen any for years, but had two in my kitchen last week. I’ve also been making an effort to remove lawn and grow more diverse plants. Hopefully that’s been helping.
No, it’s not like this shiny carapace, it’s rather satin. The elytra is light brown with a golden-green shimmer, and the thorax and head are of a darker green-brown.
Haven’t seen any of these lil guys in the last 8 years 😔

A similar golden beetle shows up in south America. Anyone has the scientific name?
you are referring to this Charidotella sexpunctata

It looks like this, but I could never match the picture with an ID: Image
About the same for me, but I saw one about 3 weeks ago. I was so excited because it had been so long, no one else seemed to care as much.
Same, just assume they’re all extinct by now.
Are these limited to certain states? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these…
