Bumble Flower Beetle (Euphoria inda)

Euphoria inda (Linnaeus, 1758). Found at Grant Park in South Milwaukee in south-eastern Wisconsin. Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, USA.

 

Found crawling on sand on a sandy Lake Michigan beach.

 

This species is relatively common in sandy habitats in this area and can often be seen in numbers flying around in a manner similar to bumblebees, hence the common name Bumble Flower Beetle.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
