Thanks for joining the Galapagos Biodiversity Mission, Beatrice! This is a Scarabaeid beetle, probably genus Cotinis. In some parts of the world it is eaten when it occurs in greater numbers. - Since you did not this spot it on Galapagos, coiuld you remove it from this mission? Thanks!

Thanks for the help in identifying! Removed the picture from the Galapagos mission. Sorry for the mistake, still getting used to using the app :)

This is a chafer beetle, a member of the Scarabaeidae. I do not know the species in your area, but hope this narrows your search. :)
