Bumble flower beetle
by: Moni

This is a bumble flower beetle.
They are found throughout North America east of the Rockies.
The adults feed on nectar and pollen, tho can sometimes damage flowers...they are not a pest. They also feed on rotting fruit, sap and other plant juices. The larvae live in decaying wood or plant matter and found on dung.
They get their name from the buzzing sound they make as they fly(like a bumble bee).
