We found what I believe is a figeater beetle on our thyme! Sacramento valley, CA. We were stunned by how iridescent it was.
Can anyone confirm that this is a figeater beetle and not something else?
I can definitely confirm it's a figeater. Love these dudes :)

This gorgeous figeater came and visited me today and it's made me feel blessed all day long!
Found this lovely green friend while visiting San Diego - any chance of an ID? I'm not sure they were doing so hot but I didn't want to bother them too much.
It's a figeater! Adult beetles don't live particularly long, so it may have already mated and is at the end of its natural life. And that's okay I'll bet it lived a nice beetle life :)
@zestyatbest submitted: Hello! The other day I was mucking around in some leaves and I found THIS massive guy!
I figured it probably wasn’t living its best life in a pile of leaves on the concrete so I took it home and got it into a nice big tank. It’s a good thing I did; the pile of leaves was gone two days later, all swept up.
What sort of grub is this?? I looked online and it says it’s probably a western Hercules beetle grub… if so then that’s amazing, I love beetles!! Please tell me if I should let this lil guy go though, I don’t want to keep something that really shouldn’t be in captivity, even if I’m looking after it carefully.
I’d love some ID so I can properly take care of them and know what to expect after they pupate. I’m in [removed] (please remove location). Any clues? Thank you so much!
Ohhh what a man (gender neutral)! Quick shout out to the millipede in the first photo, though. It’s a scarab beetle grub, for starters. Given your area and the fact that it’s scooting around on its backside, it’s very unlikely it’s a western Hercules beetle. It’s most likely a green June beetle in the genus Cotinis. The common green June beetle, Cotinis nitida, is more common in your area, but it’s also possible it’s a figeater, Cotinis mutabilis.
@sgnjreltwo4i2p3oqer98765oiuhyg submitted: Shiny shiny boy I was lucky to spot last weekend in San Diego! From what I can find about large green iridescent beetles in the Southwest US I'm guessing it's a figeater beetle, does that look correct to you?
Yes, definitely a figeater! Getting absolutely lost in the flower sauce

@tender-warrior submitted: Hiya! I just wanted to share this incredible, radiant, gorgeous, beautiful fig beetle with you and all the other bug lovers here. :) I love the weathering on the armor!!! Just outstanding.
(for those curious this sweet baby was photographed in southern California <3)
Big and beautiful beetle! I love them deeply. Hope they're out there having a great bug day...
@gryest submitted: This little guy/gal came this morning (loudly) buzzing. The last two pictures were took outside, ready to leave. It was a happy surprise.
You can ID if you want, here we call them "Mayate". This is from CDMX, México.
What a beautiful outfit! It's a green June beetle in the genus Cotinis, most likely a figeater, Cotinis mutabilis. :)
@flawlesschowchow submitted: Hello, can you help me ID this spider I found in my garden? I think it was some sort of Orb Weaver. I live in [removed] (please remove location) for reference.
Also, as a bonus, enjoy this June Bug I found at the dog park! Thanks!
Beautiful figeater! Such large and friendly lil dudes. The spider is indeed an orbweaver, specifically a silver garden orbweaver, Argiope argentata :)
