Beetle with orange hands - Eucanthus impressus
Maplesville, Chilton County, Alabama, USA
March 18, 2018
This was a dark burgundy beetle that was about 3 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. He had what appeared to be bright orange mittens. He also had fine orange hairs around the rim of his shell and on his legs. His feet looked like hooks. He came to outside lights at night.
