Flower Scarab Beetles

aka, Fig Beetle (Cotinis mutabilis)
The Fig Beetle looks like the Green June Beetle, but is more common here in the southwest.
Spotted these on my Desert Bird-of-Paradise bush.
(I had to hold a branch out of the way to get this shot)

Olympus E-620
1/320s f/4.0 at 70.0mm iso200 full exif

Another cool looking beetle! What a great shot of these two beauties. Your bird-of-paradise bush seems a magnet for all sorts of insects. V
