Pretty! Any idea what species? I'm terrible at identifying bugs...

The Bumelia Borer is a green longhorn beetle with red legs, and looks a lot like this one. It's apparently native to America.

I remembered the name of a similarly shaped beetle (timberman beetle), and found the family it belongs to; longhorn beetles. Googled "green longhorn beetle with red legs".
