Lovely Depth
I had a male/female pair show up at the lights tonight and was checking for species name. Your photo shows great texture, contrast, color, and depth. Great Job! Your photos really contribute to this site. Thanks. I am hoping to capture a photo or tow of them mating.

Thanks
Scott, Thanks for your kind comments. These lined June Beetles have a lot of personality. For some reason I have never seen one here in West Virginia. Travel does have its benefits!
