>> It landed on me while down on the beach. I did not see a match in a

>> Another that landed was a shiny bronze beetle that looked to me  
>> like one of the Metallic Wood Boring Beetles. The camp is in an  
>> area of mxed woods. It was about 25mm long, pointed at both ends  
>> w/o obvious antennae. I have seen them before and someone may be  
>> able to take a guess from this description. Sorry I did not manage  
>> a picture.
