oriental flower beetle

Description:

This species is one of seven in four genera of the scarab subfamily Cetoniinae known from Florida in which the mesepimera are visible from above between the pronotum and elytral humeri and the mandibles are small and mostly membranous. Of these, only E. seputeralis and Protaetia fusca(Herbst) are dark with white or cream markings. Protaetia fusca is an immigrant from the Orient, and is now found in Florida in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

Habitat:
