Description
Frustration!
The closest I can get to identifying this hairy beetle is that it is some form of Woolly chafer. (Melolonthinae is a subfamily of the scarab beetles).
Taken in the Tokai forest, Cape Town, South Africa.
Enjoy the day,
Clive

Some kind ... ??? We don't have ANY of these, and you've got so many you can't tell one from the other. Amazing! I love Renderosity. I get to learn about the other side of the world at such an intimate level!

Wow, love those hand thingies on the antennae! I've never seen anything like this before, so I can't help at all with an ID.
