Acmaeodera? - Acmaeodera acuta
Eastern Sierra, Inyo County, California, USA
May 4, 2021
~4150' elevation, Bishop.

A group of beetles appeared immediately after I had watered & had a feast in a short period of time on an ornamental pink rose in a residential garden.
They didn't seem interested in the red roses next to it.
There were some differences in appearance between some of the beetles so I'll post them separately.
