    Conoderus vespertinus? Almost an exact match for one of your previous observations!
    Tobacco Wireworm - Conoderus vespertinus Total length: 8 mm. Elongate beetle that is yellowish brown in color with pubescence on its dorsal surface. Pronotum has a broad stripe on each side, and the elytra have a broad line down the suture.<br /> <br /> Attracted to a light in a rural area. I've been seeing these flying around my deck light each night for the past several days. Conoderus vespertinus,Geotagged,Summer,Tobacco Wireworm,United States,beetle,elateridae
