Beetle ID Please

[Sean C]

Hello,

Currently, there are 3 of these basking in the porch light. Any ideas? The second picture is quite poor in contrast to the first one....

I think a ten lined june beetle. They have crazy antennae!

^This picture is me on this forum. "HI GUYS!"

Jokes aside, much cooler than our western june beetle. Are they common in Arizona?

Ah yes I found that picture not too long ago! Really cool actually.

They look familiar so I assume I have seen them before and that they are common enough. I would never have guessed on the antennae though.

Thanks for looking into species for me!

Can these be bred in captivity?
