Valgus hemipterus? - Valgus hemipterus - Male
Dearborn, Wayne County, Michigan, USA
May 9, 2009
Size: 7 mm
Two of these flower beetles were near a fallen log, this one on Garlic Mustard. It has its head and legs tucked in. I am pretty sure this is V. hemipterus and not one of the other two species.
