Variegated June Beetle - Polyphylla variolosa - Male
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
July 3, 2006
Size: about 21 mm
Here's my best shot inside the light arena. The differencewas that the beetle raced around continuouly inside the light arena, causing some motion blur. Outside on the skirt of the mo*th sheet he was content to sit for long periods just basking in the light.
