Grape Vine Beetle

Pelidnota punctata

Description:

A relatively large beetle, about 1 inch in size.

Habitat:

Found near a light on my house. (located near forested area/pond)

Notes:

I helped this guy out of a spider web and he thanked me by posing for some pictures. Since the spider was too small to take the beetle as prey and the beetle was destroying the web, I figured it was a good resolution.
