Also Known As the Dark Flower Scarab, but this week I am calling them the field looter flower beetles, especially now that they've teamed up with the hyper-destructive Japanese beetles. The coloration of E. Sepulcralis is mostly black, with a green, sometimes red undersheen. Like the Japanese beetles, and many others, their Iridescent light reflections are circularly polarized: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/48771137 https://www.inaturalist.org/lists/3394445-Chiral-Scarabs-of-Arkansas The North Shore disc golf course cuts one of their habitats into narrow little swaths, where the Queen Anne's lace grows wild around the manicured lawn. Disc golfers think they have really accomplished something when they get a birdie or an eagle, but it is nothing compared to what the flower beetles can now accomplish after millions of years of evolution. Although they seem to be doing fine statistically, habitat destruction and degradation could introduce them to unnecessary suffering. Other insects face similar problems, and possibly extinction, see also: https://www.wildlifearkansas.com/materials/2006_updates/03SGCN.pdf The sky is blue, the fields and the forests are calling, --Brad
