Two outrageously colorful tropical fulgorids and four vividly patterned scarabs (Cetoniinae: Gymnetini), whose wacky stripes are reminiscent of early military attempts at “dazzle camouflage”

My seven year old granddaughter found this in the air vent of their imported Toyota. Educated guess but think it’s Protaetia orientalis, the Oriental Flower Beetle. Not one I was expecting in North-east Derbyshire. #Cetoniinae #Coleoptera #Scarabaeidae

Los cetoninos (Cetoniinae) o escarabajos de las flores son una subfamilia de escarabajos de la familia Scarabaeidae. Los adultos de muchas especies son diurnos y visitan flores, alimentándose de polen y néctar o de los pétalos. #photography #nikonphotography #spring #beetle #flower #nikond3100

Here's the new addition to the Cetonarium, the terrarium I'm filling with european species of Cetoniinae! They are here in my palm drinking agave syrup, as they have just arrived and were very hungry.

🪲📸Cotinis mutabilis, aka a figeater beetle, member of the scarab family. It belongs to subfamily Cetoniinae, a group of beetles called flower chafers as many of them feed on pollen, *nectar, or petals. Habitat is southwestern US and Mexico.

*includes hummer feeders💚

Now you know. #InsectThursday 🌿
Sluuuurp! Figeater beetles, or Green Fruit Beetles, are large, shiny green scarab beetles. Adult beetles are metallic green with brown or tan wing edges, and they have a short, horn-like projection on their face. This one likes to crowd the Anna's off of one side on my feeder, since it seems to be leaking enough for the beetle to fiend on.

Auch dir einen schönen verregneten Tag, lieber Käfer. #photography #nature #beetle
Das Bild zeigt einen metallisch grünlich schimmernden Käfer, der auf einer Holzoberfläche sitzt. Die Holzstruktur bildet auffällige, fast kreisförmige Maserungen, die den Käfer optisch einrahmen und den Fokus auf ihn lenken. Der Käfer scheint ein Rosenkäfer (Cetoniinae) zu sein, der für seine glänzende Panzerung bekannt ist. Die Detailaufnahme hebt besonders die Textur des Käfers und die interessante Maserung des Holzes hervor. (Text KI-generiert)

Not only flowers though as beetles of the Cetoniinae subfamily also feed on fresh and rotting fruits, which gives them other names like fruit chafers, flower beetles, and flower scarabs🍎🍉. When on flowers, they feed on nectar and pollen, which makes them pollinator agents🌼.

What a beautiful flower scarab...found right here in N. Carolina! Meet Gnorimella maculosa, the only species in the genus here in the US. [size: ~1/2"]

Thanks to Wilson Laney for collecting/bringing it to me! [Apparently it's not often seen; I had not heard of it]
