Euphoria inda
bumble flower beetle, brown fruit chafer, Indian cetonia
Euphoria inda is a scarab beetle in the subfamily Cetoniinae, commonly known as the bumble flower beetle. Adults are active pollinators that feed on pollen, nectar, sap, and damaged fruits. The species is notable for its distinctive flight behavior: adults do not lift their elytra during flight, causing the hindwings to vibrate inside and produce a buzzing sound. It is widely distributed across North America and has been documented in large numbers at fermented bait traps in prairie and woodland habitats.
