The animal on the cover of Machine Learning for High-Risk Applications is the giant African fruit beetle (Mecynorrhina polyphemus).
Formerly classified under the Latin name Chelorrhina polyphemus, this large, green scarab beetle is a member of the Cetoniinae family of flower chafers, a group of brightly colored beetles that feed primarily on flower pollen, nectar, and petals, as well as fruits and tree sap. Ranging from 35 to 80 mm in length, giant African fruit beetles are the largest beetles in the genus Mecynorrhina.
These colossal scarabs are found in the dense tropical forests of Central Africa. The adults are sexually dimorphic, with the females having a shiny, prismatic carapace, and the males having antlers and a more velvety or matte coloration. As attractive and relatively easy-to-raise beetles, they make popular pets among aspiring entomologists. This fact, along with habitat destruction, has been cited by at least one study as a factor in population declines in some areas, though they remain common overall.
Many of the animals on O’Reilly covers are endangered; all of them are important to the world.
