Oriental beetle (Anomala orientalis)

Rockcliffe Park

Introduced to North America from Asia and now becoming widespread. The larvae feed on grass roots, but the adults are nectar feeders (though apparently, they feed very little).

An excellent composition, and good detail. The beetle certainly seems busy! V.

Lovely sharp image in a nice cheer-me-up flowery/Springtime setting Christine.

Terrific details in this closeup. Always nice to see flowers at this time of year to remind us of summer.
