The ruteline genus Chrysina, or jewel scarabs, is a large genus of brightly colored, often metallic iridescent species, ranging from the southwestern edge of the United States as far south as Venezuela and Ecuador. The genus includes all the species formerly known as Plusiotis. They are typically between 15–35 millimetres (0.59–1.38 in) in length, and are nocturnal in habits, coming readily to lights. The larvae live in rotting logs, while the adults commonly feed on foliage; they tend to be found in pine, juniper, or pine-oak forests, most commonly between 1,000–3,000 metres (3,300–9,800 ft) elevation. They are most diverse in countries such as Guatemala, where as many as 15 species can be found in a single location, but there are only 4 species which occur in the United States.
Flower chafers are a group of scarab beetles, comprising the subfamily Cetoniinae. Many species are diurnal and visit flowers for pollen and nectar, or to browse on the petals.
