I hang a banana over the upstairs deck for butterflies to visit and feed on. This beetle showed up (and fed) on it. ID help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You're welcome...
This species is attracted to these kinds of rotting baits.

Other than these "rotting baits"....
...what is their "plant(s)"?

Food…
The larvae bore into and feed on decayed or dead hardwoods such as elm and maple. I don't think the adults are herbivorous.
