Your letter to the bugman:  Hello! This evening I had this visitor make himself (or her!) comfortable in my home. I’ve been searching online for hours but figured I’d ask the experts! Could you identify this beetle? Located in south OC, near Dana Point. I apologize for the poor photo, I am unsure if it is friendly. He/she is on standard sized blinds for reference and can fly. Weather is about 65-72 degrees F. Thank you so much for your time!
