Euphoria kernii, or Kern's flower scarab, is a species of scarab beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It was described by American entomologist Samuel Stehman Haldeman in 1852. They are primarily found in Central and West Texas, the central Great Plains and eastern New Mexico of the United States and across northeastern Mexico. The adults are beneficial native pollinators that feed on pollen and nectar from various flowers, including cactus, thistle, yucca, and prickly poppies. The species is not harmful to humans, and they do not bite, sting, or damage property. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kern's Flower Scarab is recorded against all the insects logged in Big Bend National Park (17 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
