May Beetles

Phyllophaga

May beetles are big, brown insects that come out in the spring. They love to fly around at night and can sometimes be seen buzzing around lights.

生息地: Grasslands

外見

The May Beetle has a stocky, oval-shaped body, typically reddish-brown or dark brown, often with a slightly iridescent sheen. Its back is covered by tough, grooved wing covers (elytra) that protect its delicate flight wings underneath. It is visually different from many other beetles by its relatively large size and characteristic robust, hairy appearance.

おもしろい事実

Adult May beetles are clumsy fliers, often bumping into porch lights at night.

Female May beetles lay hundreds of tiny eggs deep in the soil. Wow!

Some years, they emerge in such huge numbers they can strip trees bare.

Their underground larvae, called white grubs, can take years to grow!

特殊能力

能力

Burrowing Grubs

May Beetles can live underground for years because their larvae (grubs) have strong jaws to munch on roots, staying safe from predators.

能力

Night Navigator

May Beetles can find their way in the dark because they use sensitive antennae to detect scents and find mates at night.

能力

Leaf Stripper

May Beetles can munch through leaves quickly because they have strong mandibles that help them feed on plants after dark.
