Every time I venture into the woods...or fields...or even my backyard, I learn something new! Thank you!!<br /><br />@ Mandy - Here is a link to a fact sheet on the beetle. It doesn't appear to be harmful. http://extension.usu.edu/files/publications/factsheet/bumble-flower-beetle2011.pdf <br />You might want to have a professional check it out, though.
