Beetle - Cyclocephala
Copyright © 2006 Chuck Entz

Beetle - Cyclocephala
Sycamore Cyn Campground, Pt Mugu State Park, Ventura County, California, USA
June 26, 2006
Size: 1/2-1 inch
Came to light at night in a campground under sycamore (Platanus racemosus), elderberry (Sambucus cerulea) and walnut (Juglans californica) near a slow-moving creek.

I have details from other images showing different aspects of the dorsal view if you need to look at features not clear in this image.

A beetle by different names
I think this is a June Beetle...I'm from WI, and we call them June Bugs....As I found out many people call them May Beetles...Hopefully I'm right, and this helped you out
