Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE They are native scarab beetles, the genus is Cotinus. The brown scarab beetles are in the genus Phyllophaga. Have you ever dug in the soil and found large, fat, C-shaped, grubs? They are the larvae of scarabs. As far as taxonomy is concerned, beetles are the most diverse group of creatures on the earth (over 500,000 known species and growing). But I bet the microbes outnumber them...just aren't a whole lot of people studying them to classify them.
