Flower chafers

Two Punctate flower chafers (Polystigma punctatum) mating on a carrot flower head. Flower chafers are a group of scarab beetles. There are over 4,000 species, many of which are diurnal and visit flowers for pollen and nectar, or to browse on the petals. These specimens are approximately 25 millimetres (1 in) in length.
