ftorres Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hello Petger, I don't think that is a Pleocoma. SO it should be a MAy beetle. regards francisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Are these native to California? Every year loads of beetles that look like that show up at porch lights and such here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clausen Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Francisco, Where you tempted to say "it may be a may beetle"? Thanks for the reply! Andrew- I'm not sure if that particular species would be in California, but the pattern of behavior sure fits. There were quite a few of these flying to the blacklight-lit sheet I put up and even to the windows of the incandescent-lit house.
