JunkaiWangisme Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Seriously, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darktheumbreon Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Location might help. Also, I think you'll need better angles for other people to identify them. I think their ends and their heads are supposed to be significant for identification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkaiWangisme Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 @darktheumbreon Northern Michigan. Head orange, sparse hair over the body, quarter sized. It's a scarab for sure, not rhino. I am mainly asking whether they are may beetle larvae or jewel scarab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwellc Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 I would really like to know too, as I also live in Michigan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Cetoniinae. Impossible to ID them to species beyond that. Just rear them up in the wood you found them at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the location, Osmoderma, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
