Figeater beetles (Cotinis mutabilis) are a type of scarab beetle that eat lots of soft fruits, like figs (duh)! They live as grubs underground most of the year, eating rotting plants and roots. Summer is mating season, so they are pretty busy right now looking for love and laying eggs. Give them space, know they can’t hurt you, and see if you can glimpse their beautiful, iridescent undersides. 📷: dloarie on iNaturalist Scarab Beetle, Egg Laying, They Live, Beetles, Looking For Love, Spiders, For Love, Fig, Bugs
