Today I found Sneezewort (Achillea ptarmica) along the West River. Sneezewort is a non-native species gone wild. These might be a cultivar called "Pearl."
The beetle is possibly one of the many Shining Leaf Chafers in the Anomala family. Possibly.
Later as I mowed my lawn, a Long-horned Beetle - probably a Northeastern Sawyer - landed on the grass. Conifers, especially pines, are larval hosts for this species.
