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]
