Euphoria inda explained
Euphoria inda, the bumble flower beetle, brown fruit chafer or Indian cetonia[1] is a species of beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in North America. While in flight, adults of this species do not lift their elytra,[2] creating a buzzing sound as the hindwings vibrate inside. The adult beetle is a pollinator and feeds on pollen, nectar, sap and damaged fruits.
