CMR Beetle
The CMR beetle is about 30 mm long, has conspicuous yellow and black bands or spots and a slow, buzzing flight pattern. Their antennae are bright orange. The larvae of CMR beetles help to decrease grasshopper numbers.
This beetle favours flower petals and can all but destroy a flower garden and severely impact vegetable production when occuring in large numbers. Care should be taken since these beetles can cause skin blisters when handled.
