Melolontha
Cockchafers are big, brown beetles that come out in the spring. They love to fly around at night and can be found in gardens and fields. Their larvae, called grubs, live in the soil and help the earth stay healthy.
生息地: Grasslands, Gardens
The Cockchafer has a robust, oval body, typically reddish-brown with a distinct black head and pronotum. Its ridged wing cases cover delicate flight wings, and males feature prominent fan-like antennae, making it visually distinct from smaller scarab beetles.
