The beetles is a metallic wood-boring beetle (a.k.a. jewel beetle) in  
the family Buprestidae. This one is either in the genus Buprestis,  
possibly B. maculiventris Say (the common species), or else in the  
genus Dicerca (6 possible species). The larvae of all bore in the  
wood of coniferous trees. They do not bite.

Cheers,

Chris
