False Flower Beetle
The family Scraptiidae is a small group of tenebrionoid beetles sometimes called false flower beetles. There are about 400 species in 30 genera with a world-wide distribution. The adults are found on flowers, sometimes in large numbers, but are also found on foliage. The larvae are typically found under the bark of dead trees. The oldest fossils of the group date to the Eocene.

Anaspis Rufilabris
''Anaspis'' is a large genus of beetles belonging to the family Scraptiidae. These small beetles are sometimes falsely called ''tumbling flower beetles'' (Family:Mordellidae The Mordellidae are a family of beetles commonly known as tumbling flower beetles for the typical irregular movements they make when escaping predators, or as pintail beetles due to their abdominal tip which aids them in performing these tumbling ...) as they occur in large numbers on flowers and have a habit of tumbling to the ground when disturbed. They do not have a vernacular common name, but some recent authors have coined the name, ''false flower beetles''. Species Species include: *'' Anaspis abollata'' *'' Anaspis akaira'' *'' Anaspis apfelbecki'' *'' Anaspis arctica'' *'' Anaspis atrata'' *'' Anaspis balthasari'' *'' Anaspis beardsleyi'' *'' Anaspis bernhaueri'' *'' Anaspis bernikovi'' *'' Anaspis bilaciniata'' *'' Anaspis bohemica'' *'' Anaspis brevicornis'' *'' Anaspis brunnipes'' *'' Anaspis ...
