Green June Bug
Cotinis mutabilis
The adult green June bug is a metallic green scarab beetle found around orchards, gardens, woodlands, and sunny open areas. It feeds on ripe or damaged fruit, plant sap, nectar, and pollen, often visiting figs, grapes, peaches, and other soft fruits. Adults fly with a loud buzzing sound and can be clumsy, bumping into leaves, walls, or animals as they move between food sources. Its hard wing covers protect the folded flight wings underneath, a classic beetle feature.
