Euphoria inda, the bumble flower beetle, brown fruit chafer or Indian cetonia [2] is a species of beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in North America. [1] [3] [4] While in flight, adults of this species do not lift their elytra, [5] creating a buzzing sound as the hindwings vibrate inside. [2] The adult beetle is a pollinator [2] and feeds on pollen, nectar, sap and damaged fruits. [5]
