Fittingly, June Bug Day takes place in June. This is the month when June
Bugs, a member of the Phyllophaga genus, which consists of over 260
species of New World scarab beetles, tend to be most visibly active.
This is because they emerge from the ground this time of year and search
for food and a mate. They may have been in the ground as larvae for up
to three years. Adults are about an inch or a little less in length,
have a hard black or brown casing, as well as wings. During the day they
hide in trees, but at night they tend to swarm and are strongly
attracted to light. This is also when they do their feeding, which
mainly consists of trees and bushes.
