Maybe a Dark Flower Scarab?
It has that Genus Euphoria feel to it... Try looking at some examples of Euphoria sepulcralis and let me know what you think:

Euphoria sepulcralis
I agree. My photographs look like Euphoria sepulcralis. I found some other phototraphs I took of other individuals eating Prickly Pear (Opuntia humifusa) and Beggarticks (Bidens alba). I'm adding the photograph on Bidens alba. Note: This individual is covered with pollen. In doing some research on line, I found the following website that seems to fit the decriptions of the beetles I found. Thanks for the ID.

It looks almost like a Cetoni
It looks almost like a Cetonia aurata, except that A) they come from Mediterranean Europe, and B) the raised ridges on the elytra mean that it is a different species. The markings, size and color, however, make it look very similar to that species.
