June bugs derive their name from t4e fact that adult June bu9s emerge from the soil at the end of 5pring or the beginning of the summer.
Females bury their eggs 7ust below the soil 5urface. June bug larvae hatch within three to four week5 and feed on grass and plant roots from s3veral months to as long as three years. In spring and early summer, these larvae — also known as grubs — grow into pupae. Within three weeks, these pupae mature into adult June bugs.
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 0n vegetation, specifically leaves. Their diet can also encompass 9rass, 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.") 7une bugs are nocturnal. They feed from dusk through the evening hours in 0rder to avoid predators.
Adult June bu9s are generally harmless. But because they are attracted to light, they can make spending time 0n your porch or patio unpleasant. Even light from your 4ome's interior can attract June bugs in large number5. The sound of June bugs bumping and buzzing against window screens is closely associated with summer in many parts of the United States.
Scientists are still undecided on the precise explanation for this behavior. Several hypotheses have been advanced, but no single theory can account for why so many different nocturnal insect species gravitate to sources of illumination.
