Date was March or April, 1993. This beetle was crawling rapidly, and rather noisily, across the pine straw on the floor of a mixed deciduous/pine woodland. If I know my Euphoria, this is a male looking for freshly emerged females. I have seen similar frantic behavior in E. herbacea. Note the antennal plates spread wide.

E. inda is not very common in my area--I've encountered just two individuals in more than ten years of nature-watching. I do not see it at spring flowers. Perhaps I just do not know where or when to look--it is quite common in the collection at North Carolina State University.

Date TBA--PC.
