Occurrence Remarks:
I believe this is commonly referred to as a "Green Pine Chafer." Hard to tell due to the higher ISO settings with this photo, but this beetle has a short antennae with a feather at the tip and iridescent elytra. And, literally, it's eating a pine needle in this photo. Let me know if this should be identified as something else. Thank you for your help!
