These brilliant green bugs aren't the dreaded Emerald Ash Borer. According to Wikipedia, Cicindela sexguttata "are commonly found in deciduous forests in between Minnesota, Rhode Island, Ontario and south to Kentucky, and are easily recognizable by their large, white, overlapping mandibles."

Comment re: Birds of Kentucky: White-Chested Rednecker?
Marie Freeman writes, "It is a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. I don’t have as good of a camera and I couldn’t get any closer without scaring them - you can see four feeding at my feeder’s right there if you were close by. It’s easy to distinguish because they’re black and white, very unusual and beautiful bird."
