Green horned june-bug
I’ve seen lots of june-bug type bugs, but never one like this! Overall size is roughly 1/2 inch. I’ve lived in central Georgia for roughly 30 years and know most of the crawlies, so I am especially curious about this little guy. Thanks so much,

Male dung beetle. My initial search for horn beetle didn’t get me there. Use the photos (sent earlier) if you wish! Thanks!

Hi Vic,
Nice job of identifying your male Rainbow Scarab, one of the Dung Beetles.
