I have noticed a lot of cowboy beetles in my yard this summer. I wasn't able to find a lot of information about them but apparently the grubs feed on compost so I assume that actual damage to lawn\living plants would be minimal. From what I can see they don't seem to appear on lists of insect pests so that's a good sign.

I'm working on the principle/assumption that if they were really dangerous to gardens then there would be a whole lot more readily available information on them out there. Including information on what pest control products to use against them.

What is a benefit of beetle epidemics?

Food sources, forest regeneration and scientific research are benefits of beetle epidemics. Beetle epidemics center upon concentrated areas of forest land so that damage is done in a clearly identified area, as compared to the damage of a deer harming every rose bush in a garden by selectively eating a couple each from all shrubs instead of all roses from one woody plant. They make it possible for controlled, prescribed burns to clear-cut the damaged areas and jumpstart new growth.
