It's June, so what's a June Bug anyways? The name "June bug" refers to any of the 100 species of beetles that are related to the scarabs familiar from ancient Egyptian iconography. Other common names for the June bug include "June beetle" and "May beetle." The common June bug is one-half to five-eighths inches long and reddish-brown in color. Being beetles, they also sport shiny wing covers, called elytra. June bugs can cause damage to gardens, lawns and pastures. They are classified as chafers, meaning they feed on vegetation, specifically leaves. Their diet can also encompass grass, flowers, fruit, food crops such as grains (wheat, corn, etc.), sap and decaying organic material. (Hence their scientific name, Phyllophaga, which is Greek for "leaf eater.") June bugs are nocturnal. They feed from dusk through the evening hours in order to avoid predators. #559 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2szPyDP
