GinaThe Spotted Cucumber Beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata) can be a major agricultural pest. Its larvae, called corn rootworms, primarily feed on roots, while adults chew leaves, flowers, and fruit, damaging cucumbers, squash, melons, and other crops.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/california" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#california</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/beetles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beetles</a>

TikituAnother fabulous bumblebee scarab beetle, again inside a poppy flower in our back garden. I think this might be another Pygopleurus species, P veridisuturatus, but I’m going entirely on the colours in iNaturalist photos without knowing what I could be mixing it up with, so that may be ENTIRELY wrong. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/beetles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beetles</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/MacroPhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MacroPhotography</a>

TikituWhen you think “oil beetles” you usually think “blue-black and bulgy” and we do get those (I think M. autumnalis?). But we also get (or got) these spectacular green-and-purple beauties, which might be M. variegatus or M. cavensis? (All my ids are based on vibes not keys.) I miss them. <a href="https://flic.kr/p/2mGZPTX" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/p/2mGZPTX</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beetles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beetles</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insectodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insectodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a>

TikituI’m having a *terrible* time trying to get photographs of these little suckers: they’re skittish in the sunlight, they fly fast, and I keep missing the focus with all that fuzz. It occurred to me to wonder if I could find any sleeping, which hopefully would be more accommodating subjects. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beetles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beetles</a>

TikituAnother question on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beetles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beetles</a> (behaviour+ecology) looking for an expert. We get bumblebee scarabs here in north Greece, the delightfully fuzzy Pygopleurus vulpes. During the day they come to our lawn flowers: I’m wondering what they’re likely to be doing during the night. Night flying seems unlikely, especially given the temperature, but do they return to fixed nest sites? Burrow? Just crash wherever they find themselves? Solitary or gathered in groups? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insectodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insectodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a>

TikituAny experts on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beetles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beetles</a> (behaviour+ecology) here to answer a couple of questions? We get oil beetles (Meloe) here in north Greece but last year I saw none at all over the period I would expect them to mate and lay eggs. I’m wondering if one bad breeding year is likely to wipe them out locally, or if there will be adults overwintering from previous years who can pick things up. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insectodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insectodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a>

TikituThere were more Pygopleurus vulpes about today, and I again failed to get any in-focus shots. Its maddening. Have some other chafer-type beastie instead. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/beetles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beetles</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/MacroPhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MacroPhotography</a>
