Bg1051 C9546 - Laphria lata - Male
Barney Farm, 1 mi. NW Washington, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, USA
June 16, 2007
Size: body length 31.0 mm.
Found along a wooded trail. This rather worn specimen appears to be in the genus_Laphria. Based on the size and color pattern, it is a match for lata_or maybe_grossa.
The deep orange color is notable.
Verification, correction, or other comments appreciated.
