Cetonia aurata to be exact, one of my favorites 😌🪲
Also known as the Green Rose chafer!
I'm doing a little series of animals that can be found in our neighborhood! ;w;
Hi i have three ID requests, all the photos are from Mexico City and i took them on the last two months
1- (the spider not the bee lmao)
2-
3- this guys appear everywhere each autumn
i hope you see this and thanks :]]]
A great group of nice-lookin pals here!
The first is a flower crab spider in the tribe Misumenini but I couldn't say exact species. The big cute moth is a pink-spotted hawkmoth, and the fuzzy beetle is a rose chafer, Euphoria basalis :)
Cetonia aurata, known as the rose chafer, or more rarely as the green rose chafer, is a beetle, 20 mm (¾ in) long, that has metallic green coloration (but can be bronze, copper, violet, blue/black or grey) with a distinct V shaped scutellum, the small triangular area between the wing cases just below the thorax, and having several other irregular small white lines and marks. The underside is a coppery colour. This is a compilation of multiple images showing a take-off.
An intricate artwork featuring some wonderful metallic-colored beetles, leaves, twigs, lichens, and mushrooms. This pattern has a dark, enigmatic, witchy aesthetics!

@greencheekconure27primary submitted: Came to look at one bug, found three (the rose chafer was gently removed from the premises despite being very pretty. I'm sure they will find some other flowers to nibble on)
Ohhh these flowers are action packed with pals! I’m sure the rose chafer will indeed find another flower to nibble. RIP to the hover fly but glad the crab spider gets a meal!
