Hello. We saw this beetle in our yard and have never seen this in our area before. Do you know what this is? We live in Plymouth MA. We just found this the other day
Thank you

Dear Marianne,
This is a female Rainbow Scarab, Phanaeus vindex, a species of Dung Beetle. Male Rainbow Scarabs have a prominent horn.
