Cotinis mutabilis? - Cotinis mutabilis
Nogales, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
June 8, 2017
Size: 22 mm
"Clypeal projection quadrate, rectangular, triangular, or expanded apically. Pygidium unicolorous. Ventral coloration green or red-dark."
Its pygidium appears to have two different colors because of its iridescence and the image angle, but in my opinion the pygidium is uniform in color.
Coordinates: 31.335406, -110.937799
Elevation: 3,932 ft
