Tumbling Flower Beetle - Hoshihananomia octopunctata
Harms Woods Forest Preserves, Glenview, Cook County, Illinois, USA
July 13, 2006
Size: ~7mm
On the same umbel as the Cerambycid was this reasonably large tumbling flower beetle. It looks to be the same one as image #60305. We were struck by the similarity in color and markings on these two different beetles.
