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
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.
