May beetles

There are some 300 species of May beetles, genus Phyllophaga, in the U.S. and Canada east of the Rockies. We also call them “June bugs.” The first three photos are all of the same species, night visitors to Nantucket, MA, last week.
They are rather cumbersome fliers. This one still has a bit of wing exposed underneath its elatron.
They crash to the ground on their backs and have a heck of time getting right-side-up. It’s that damn light, of course, on the porch drawing them in. (The light in this one’s eyes is camera flash; I’m not sure, but I think it’s saying “take me to your leader.”)
This one was in Bradford, MA, a couple of says later. Note those three segmented clubs on the antennae; those are a good genus identifier. This one was at least half the size of the inch-plus beasts that this post starts off with.
