Orange Beetle - Bolbocerosoma confusum

Orange Beetle - Bolbocerosoma confusum
Norman, Cleveland County, Oklahoma, USA
June 5, 2007
Size: 3/8 inch
Seen under street lights occasionally after dark. Antennae appear "clubbed," with the last three segments very long, somewhat comb-like. Unfortunately, this one kept pulling the antennae back in when I tried to photograph it, so I hope it is still identifiable.
