Scarab BeetlesI can’t find this puppy on your site
I took this photo in the Tulsa Rose Garden yesterday. I can’t figure out what it is. Can you help me? Thanks
Chuck
hi Chuck,
This is a Rose Chafer, Macrodactylus subspinosus. We just read on BugGuide that the Rose Chafer contains the chemical cantharadin and if eaten, it can poison chickens.
