Scarab beetles are quite prevalent and familiar to people in Japan. Actually, there's a song titled "Scarab beetles are rich." The lyrics are based on the lyricist (Ujo Noguchi)'s childhood memories that cockroaches gather in rich people's houses as they're warm and have food and that at that time, cockroaches were called "kogane mushi," which translates into "scarab beetles" in English😆!

Scarab beetles can be highly destructive to lawn and gardens. The adults feed on foliage and flowers, while their underground larvae damage the root systems of turf grass, ornamental plants, and crops. Scarab beetles, however, are so beautiful and their sleeping posture is funnily acrobatic (scroll down).

黄金虫です。見た目は美しいのですがなかなかの害虫です。しかも寝相も悪い（笑える？）。そしていつも不思議に思うのがコガネムシの歌です。あの物悲しい曲調と笑える歌詞。由来（下に記載）を知れば納得ですが、でも笑えます。。。😆
由来：作詞者である野口雨情の故郷（現在の茨城県や栃木県北部）で、かつて暖かくて食べ物の豊かなお金持ちの家に集まるゴキブリのことを「黄金虫（または油虫）」と呼んでいたことに由来するという説が有力。
