I was in my backyard and I caught a beetle. At first I thought it was a fire fly.. but then I realized it was a beetle and it had a bright green glow to it.. Well actually i thought it was a cell phone.. hehe. But if anyone has an idea of what kind of bug this is, or it's name, it would be appreciated. Thanks

Online it says that lightning bugs are the same as fireflies... but i'm pretty sure fireflies glow yellow.. then what are the green ones?

Could be a buprestid. They are really pretty wood boring beetles. They stay dormant in wood for long periods of time. Imagine having a wooden house built in the south and all of the sudden a beetle bursts out of your wall.
