Could you please help me identify beetle. The beetles were flying around the garden in Pennsylvania. This beetle was twice the size of the Japenese beetles that were also present.
thanks
This is a Fig-Eater or Green June Beetle, Cotinis nitida. Adults visit flowers especially hollyhocks as well as ripening fruit. They are very fond of peaches. They occasionally form swarms of great size and buzz loudly.
