Abstract
We utilized a biosurveillance sampling method, namely the use of the native ground-nesting hunting wasp Cerceris fumipennis, along with University of Minnesota Insect Collection (UMSP) records, to create a checklist for Buprestidae in Minnesota, USA. We examined 5,127 specimens with Minnesota localities, documenting 107 species. Of these, 37 new state records are noted, including 11 collected from C. fumipennis nesting sites between 2013 and 2018. Maps displaying the number of beetles for a given species caught in each county and the time passed since last collection (within 20 years) are provided here as an appendix.
Description
Data consists of maps displaying the number of buprestid beetles for a given species caught in each Minnesota county, and the time passed since last collection (within 20 years). The submission also includes the spreadsheet and R script used to generate the maps.
