good beetle
The specimen appears to be Cremastocheilus squamulosus LeConte, but the locality is north of its previously known range. Was the specimen collected? If so, I would like to take a look at it (I am revising Cremastocheilus).

I take it this is a state record,
not just a more northern county. If I'm mistaken, please correct me.

Looks like ..
Cremastocheilus harrisii Kirby 1827 - often very common on sandy banks of rivers and creeks, the very shiny ventrum is unique.

?

Scarab
Looks like its subfamily Cetoniinae, genus Cremastocheilus. (Or something similar.)

Agreed!
Great find! This genus is associated with ants, and the adults aren't often seen.
