This chunky , but tough individual was found on a sage-smelling bush that was prevalent along the dry trail , but was the only specimen found . It was a fairly hot day of 90 degrees on a dry , dusty trail . I found a beetle with the same body type , but different coloring last year here , but cannot remember the name . Thanks for any comments . I took many photos , but my camera had a hard time focusing on it since it was either in the shade or because it's shell was sooo shiny . Thanks for any comments , sincerely Beth
