Euphoria species, sepulcralis? - Protaetia fusca Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida, USA December 17, 2014
We get Euphoria sepulcralis outbreaks annually in December, but wanted to double-check the ID, as most of the ones I've seen have been "stereotypical," meaning the markings match the ones in Arthur Evans's guide to beetles of Eastern N.A., or the others I've seen online. But no other species looks closer, and I understand that the markings on the elytra are variable.
