Pleasing Fungus Beetleswhats my bug
Hello, I found these beauties while hiking in Western Pennsylvania. There were a dozen or so of these beetles enjoying the delicious fungus in the picture. Curiosity got the best of me and I snapped a few pictures. Thanks,
Brian

They are pleasingly attractive beetles, and they eat fungus. Someone thought to name them Pleasing Fungus Beetles, Megalodacne heros. Here is a nice side by side comparison with a smaller relative, Hegalodacne fasciata.
