Field Notes

Description:

A male grapevine beetle (the fluffy antennae are there just hard to see from the angle) hanging out at the top of my curtains. I scooped him up (very friendly he crawled right on my hand) and I let him outside.

Habitat:

The beetle lives in the eastern coast of North America, as well as Florida, Nebraska and north western Missouri, and has been found in central Indiana, South Dakota, Minnesota, southern Wisconsin, southeast Michigan, and southwestern Ontario. Also just found in northwestern Kentucky, southwestern Ohio, Illinois, Maryland, New York, South Western Connecticut, western and eastern Pennsylvania, Northern Michigan, eastern West Virginia, Northern Iowa and North Carolina.
