Cyclocephala I never seen these before until my mom brought back the car from the hills near where we lived. After that, I saw them everywhere. They don't bite but like to headbutt and hover over the grass on hot nights. Coleoptera,Cyclocephala lurida,Dynastidae,Southern Masked Chafer,southern masked chafer Click/tap to enlarge
