Flower chafer beetle (likely a scarab beetle)

Adults occur on flowers, fruit, sap flows, gardens, and woodland edges; larvae typically develop in soil, compost, or decaying wood.

Adults feed mainly on nectar, pollen, flowers, and ripe or fermenting fruit. Larvae generally consume decaying plant material and organic soil matter.

Adults are strong fliers and often visit flowers in warm daylight; many species produce a buzzing flight. They lay eggs in soil, compost, or rotting wood, where larvae develop before pupating.

Generally harmless to people and homes, though adults may damage flowers or fruit. Larvae help decompose organic matter and recycle nutrients; adults can pollinate plants.
