Found this lovely green friend while visiting San Diego - any chance of an ID? I'm not sure they were doing so hot but I didn't want to bother them too much.

It's a figeater! Adult beetles don't live particularly long, so it may have already mated and is at the end of its natural life. And that's okay I'll bet it lived a nice beetle life :)

becoming a beetle nerd so I can write luffy being a beetle nerd

they're so cute.

especially weevils and their little nose thingie. why couldn't weevil what's-his-face in yu-gi-oh be as cute as real weevils :[

there's also so many shiny green beetles :0

imagine luffy comparing colors to beetle colors

like every time he finds a green beetle (bc there seems to be a lot of those lol), he holds it up to zoro's hair to check if it's the same shade of green 🥺

figeater beetle kinda matching with an anime zoro i yoinked from google

green shield bug matching manga zoro i yoinked from the fandom wiki (actually, i think this isn't a beetle wtf why did you give me this, google, i asked for green beetles)

tho the coloring do be inconsistent so multiple beetles could match

also sunburst diving beetles remind me of Torao with his black and yellow theme <3 also i just realized they're called diving because they go underwater lmao so they also match the Polar Tang!! :D

fell off a branch into a spider web. rolled around and destroyed the spider web. delicately groomed spider web off face like a cat. continued on with beetle business

[Image ID: Two pictures of a figeater beetle in a small glass bottle with a silver screw top. The bottom of the bottle is partially filled with a small plug of cotton, with a disc of white paper on top. The left picture shows the ventral view of the beetle. The right picture shows the dorsal side of the beetle, where the head and thorax are resting against the side of the bottle. /End ID]

i don’t have insect pins and i’m not going to buy a hundred just to use one (1) so i dried my beetle back out and i’m just gonna keep him in here

Cotinis mutabilis, also known as the figeater beetle (also green fruit beetle or fig beetle), is a member of the scarab beetle family.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figeater_beetle

These funny guys will fly around all summer here, buzzing loudly and bumping into everything like a drunk hummingbird.

@zestyatbest submitted: Hello! The other day I was mucking around in some leaves and I found THIS massive guy!

I figured it probably wasn’t living its best life in a pile of leaves on the concrete so I took it home and got it into a nice big tank. It’s a good thing I did; the pile of leaves was gone two days later, all swept up.

What sort of grub is this?? I looked online and it says it’s probably a western Hercules beetle grub… if so then that’s amazing, I love beetles!! Please tell me if I should let this lil guy go though, I don’t want to keep something that really shouldn’t be in captivity, even if I’m looking after it carefully.

I’d love some ID so I can properly take care of them and know what to expect after they pupate. I’m in [removed] (please remove location). Any clues? Thank you so much!

Ohhh what a man (gender neutral)! Quick shout out to the millipede in the first photo, though. It’s a scarab beetle grub, for starters. Given your area and the fact that it’s scooting around on its backside, it’s very unlikely it’s a western Hercules beetle. It’s most likely a green June beetle in the genus Cotinis. The common green June beetle, Cotinis nitida, is more common in your area, but it’s also possible it’s a figeater, Cotinis mutabilis.

it’s figeater friday !

Figeaters are often confused with cotinis nitida, the june beetle! they do look similar i suppose, if you don’t obsessively study every bug you see

figeaters have a yellow/tan color around the edges of the elytra, making them easy to tell apart, in my opinion :]
