The term "June bug" refers to several species of beetles belonging to the family Scarabaeidae, commonly seen in North America during late spring and early summer. These beetles are typically green or brown and are known for their distinctive, rounded bodies. They are often attracted to lights at night, which can lead to their presence around homes. June bugs are primarily herbivorous, feeding on the leaves of various plants, including corn and grapes. Their larvae, known as grubs, live in the soil and feed on organic matter, which can sometimes damage lawns and gardens. Despite this, they play a role in the ecosystem by contributing to soil health.
