I must say, beetles are adorable.
There's many different types of beetles, and the figeater is one of them. According to Wikipedia, figeaters are usually located in southwestern United States and Mexico, and are often mistaken for green June bugs. The most obvious difference between the two is that figeaters do not damage lawns and fruit crops like their Eastern cousins.
Figeaters can grow to be about 1.25" and active during daylight hours. They tend to make a loud buzzing sound similar to that of certain types of bees.
They are dull green on top and shiny, metallic-looking on their underside and legs. They are most commonly found in or around large pools of water or in shady areas such as in trees or bushes, which are ideal breeding grounds for these type of beetles.
