Rose chafer (Macrodactylus subspinosus) ? - Macrodactylus

Rose chafer (Macrodactylus subspinosus) ? - Macrodactylus
Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve, Loudoun County, Virginia, USA
July 23, 2011
Photographed on black felt. This beetle (or a representative of these beetles) has visited our bird-banding worktable every Saturday for at least 3 weeks in a row. Figured we'd better figure out what to call it.
