Hairy Flower Scarab - which species? - Trichiotinus piger
along Hwy 88 near Praag, Buffalo County, Wisconsin, USA
June 3, 2010
I think this is either T. affinis or T. piger - can anyone help? I found the key on the guide page, but I don't know enough - or maybe my photos aren't good enough - to figure it out.
