Deep Purple - _TNY_9479

Here's a violet tanbark beetle (Callidium violaceum), a species in the longhorn beetle family which lays its eggs in dead spruce and pine wood - preferably dry wood which makes it drawn to stored firewood

 

Despite what the name suggests, these also come in a greenish blue tone as well as this darker violet version. It's not a gender thing, they just come in both colours. Here's an example of the other colour form: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/29973426382/
