Description
The Hopliini beetles are the most diverse group of rutelines in southern Africa. Adults are often brightly coloured and hairy with large powerful hind legs and usually encountered in flowers.
Here they are feasting on Chincherinchee (Ornithogalum thyrsoides) or vernacular 'tjienkerientjee'.
Have a great day,
