Mediterranean Spotted Chafer Oxythyrea funesta

This plant-eating beetle is a peaceful member of the chafer family, a group famous for their often-brilliant metallic appearances and iridescent coloring. Unlike predatory beetles that hunt insects, these herbivores spend their time grazing on flowers and foliage across the Mediterranean region. They're part of a family so visually impressive and diverse that collectors have pursued them for centuries, constantly seeking new color variants and interesting pattern combinations.
