Bumble flower beetle (Euphoria inda)

Burnt Lands Provincial Park. This scarab beetle flies in a bumbling fashion very close to the ground, with a loud buzzing sound, like a bumble bee. They are one of the earliest beetles found, and I usually see them in April once the weather warms up slightly.

Those antennae are amazing, like a special radar facility emerging from an otherwise well-armored "tank".
