Here are my photos for today of the Green June Beetle.

These Green June Beetles, also known as Green June Bugs are large and grow over 1" in length. They appear in late May through the month of June; hence their name.

Adults like this one feed on leaves of a variety of plants and also fruit crops that grow fruits with stones, such as peaches and plums. Their larvae which is also called 'Beetle Grub' can cause damage to lawns. If you have a large brown patch on your lawn, it might be from beetle grub eating the grass roots.

They are a pretty emerald green with a tan or golden border. Their wing coverings may also have a blush of gold. Their underside is a metallic gold which can be seen in these photos.

I found this one on a milkweed plant and it shows the metallic gold underside.

Thanks for stopping by!

All photos are my own.
