Beetle on western flank of Mount Hood

rhododendron, Clackamas County, Oregon, USA
September 24, 2023
Size: 15 mm

this beetle was on the Yocum Ridge trail on the Western flank of Mount Hood at elevation ~1150 m. The wings were rapidly moving akin to bumblebees. Its wings were buzzing as it walked on the trail. I guided it to a piece of tree bark for closer examination, but it flew away within a few seconds.

Det. MF DiGirolomo, 2023
Interesting record. I believe it has not been recorded from Massachusetts. I got this species in abundance from some trapping last year in the White Mountains, which was not surprising. This, however, is from coastal Massachusetts... a far cry from spruce-fir country. The Arboretum does have a lot of different species of spruce and fir though.
