Euphoria (beetle)

59, see text Euphoria is a genus of scarab beetles in the subfamily Cetoniinae, the flower or fruit chafers.

They are native to the Americas, where they are distributed from Canada to Argentina.

[2] Euphoria species can be highly variable in color and pattern making species identification difficult.

[3] The larvae are generally found buried a few centimeters deep in soil rich in organic matter such as compost, dung, animal burrows, packrat middens, and ant nests.

[1] In at least some species, the pupa develops in a subterranean cell with a thin wall made of feces mixed with soil.
