Green June Beetle
The Green June Beetle is a vibrant, metallic green insect belonging to the family Scarabaeidae. Adults typically measure about 1 inch in length and are known for their distinctive coloration and rounded shape. They are commonly found in the eastern United States, especially in areas with abundant vegetation.
These beetles are primarily active during the summer months and are often seen flying around gardens and fields. The larvae, known as grubs, live underground and feed on decaying organic matter, contributing to soil health. The Green June Beetle plays a role in the ecosystem by aiding in decomposition and nutrient cycling.
