Aethina tumida, commonly known as small hive beetle (SHB), is a beekeeping pest. [1] It is native to sub-Saharan Africa, but has spread to many other regions, including North America, Australia, and the Philippines. The small hive beetle primarily lives within the beehive and they are fed on pollen, honey and dead bees.
Cotinis nitida, commonly known as the green June beetle, June bug or June beetle, [1] is a beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in the eastern United States and Canada, where it is most abundant in the South. It is sometimes confused with the related southwestern species figeater beetle Cotinis mutabilis, which is less destructive.
Scents may be spicy, fruity, or similar to decaying organic material. Beetles were most likely the first insects to pollinate flowers. [127] Most beetle-pollinated flowers are flattened or dish-shaped, with pollen easily accessible, although they may include traps to keep the beetle longer. The plants' ovaries are usually well protected from ...
Adults and larvae feed on raw skins and hides. Adult larder beetles are generally 1/3 to 3/8 of an inch long and are dark brown with a broad, pale yellow spotted band across the upper portion of the elytra.

For beetles, in general this means high up in trees, especially flowering or fruiting trees. Other places in which traps are often placed with good results include forest borders.

It is especially well-suited for collecting beetles , since these animals usually drop themselves after flying into an object, [ 1 ] rather than flying upward (in which case a Malaise trap is a better option).
