Rhagonycha fulva
About .5 inches, red/brown.
All over these white wildflowers.
You're welcome. Glad you got an ID for this one. It a really nice pic. :)
Haha, I did notice that. :)
These are also known as bonking beetles as they are mostly seen mating at this time of year in large numbers. :)
I googled Red Soldier Beetle and it looks exactly like it. Thanks!
Looks like a red soldier beetle but not 100%. May be a starting point though. :)
