Brown Beetle - Anomala orientalis
Churchville PA, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
June 19, 2011
Size: approx. 1 cm
We find these brown 1 cm-long beetles in the pool, often a hundred or more at a time, but we very rarely see them on any of the many plants in our garden.

Brown Beetle = Anomala orientalis?
John,

Thanks. That would explain a lot. I examined several photos of Anomala orientalis after your i.d. Aren't the antenna of our beetles rather differently shaped?

Regards,

Mark McCusker
