We found this guy (I think it is a male because of the feathery antenna) in a pot below a light. The pictures are fuzzy because it was moving around quickly before it managed to fly back out.
We found this weird beetle outside our front porch.
Polyphylla is a genus of scarab beetle with most species living in western North America. They typically reside in forests and orchards with most being identified by white elytra scales forming stripes. The adult beetles are often attracted to lights. Polyphylla lay their eggs on soil near plants from where the larvae hatch and burrow down to the roots on which they will feed. They reach maturity in two to three years.
