Spotted pelidnota (Pelidnota punctata)

Larose Forest

Also known as Grapevine beetle. This is a beautiful big heavy-bodied beetle associated with grapevines. There is plenty of wild grape in the forest, and I think these beetles are doing well, because we saw 3 or 4 of them over the course of the 4 hours of mothing.
