Chrysina beyeri, or Beyer's scarab, is a species of shining leaf chafer in the family of beetles known as Scarabaeidae.[1][2][3][4] This bright green beetle is native to Chihuahua in Mexico and southeastern Arizona in the United States.[4][5] It resembles C. woodi in both size and general appearance, but that species has green legs and blue tarsi (in C. beyeri, the legs and tarsi are both blue-purple).[6]
