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.
Cotinis mutabilis, also known as the figeater beetle (also green fruit beetle or fig beetle), is a member of the scarab beetle family. It belongs to the subfamily Cetoniinae , comprising a group of beetles commonly called flower chafers since many of them feed on pollen, nectar, or petals. [ 1 ]

Cetonia aurata, called the rose chafer or the green rose chafer, is a beetle, 20 millimetres (3 ⁄ 4 in) long, that has a metallic structurally coloured green and a distinct V-shaped scutellum. The scutellum is the small V-shaped area between the wing cases; it may show several small, irregular, white lines and marks.
The first is the connection between the hardened elytra: they are locked in place with a zipper-like connection, which increases the exoskeleton's strength and ability to resist pressure but prevents the beetle from opening its wings to fly. The back of the beetle is not interlocked in the same way, allowing the bottom halves to slide past each ...
