Polyphylla decilineata - Polyphylla decemlineata - Female
Helena, Lewis and Clark County, Montana, USA
July 17, 2006
I believe this would be a female Ten-lined June beetle according to the other posted images and comments. She did "huff" at me when I picked her up. Pretty cool insect. I found her on the sidewalk outside my office building downtown (suitable natural habitat I'm sure).
