@CindyBinghamKeiser: I forgot to add ID, but I just did. Thank you so much again!

Yes I'm intrigued by this big abdomen in female beetle. Thanks, Cindy. :)

:) Sckel, I don't know exactly what you're referring to but the female has a very large abdomen compared to the male. This makes her look a little different. Also, she is holding one of her antennae awkwardly underneath her.

Thank you so much CindyBinghamKeiser! Now, can you answer Sckel's question? ;-)

I changed my ID suggestion to just the genus level. It's difficult to see the spot pattern to determine the sp but you may have more luck :)

@ Sckel: I don't know what they are, so it is hard to find out any information. It looks like some kind of beetles in yellow and black colors. Pretty ones.
Sckel
What's with the female?
