Small black scarab - Oncerus - Male Female
Henderson Canyon, Anza-Borrego, San Diego County, California, USA
March 23, 2019
Found on flowers of Chaenactis fremontii. The shape of the hind tibiae seem distinctive (widened & apically "double-triangular")...but they're somewhat blocked from view by the curving styles of the flowers.
