jreidsma Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hi everyone I know everyone has all these specialized lighting set ups for finding beetles But how can you resist not just "turning the porch light on" for a hour and seeing what comes Two lighter colored beetles showed up (first two pictures) and then a large group of "june beetles" came. I let them all go shortly after shooting a few pictures.(Sorry, my camera isn't good enough for closer pictures...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 First species looks like the northern masked chafer, Cyclocephala borealis, and the second looks like a small species of Melolonthinae, or June/May beetles. The latter really love to strip the leaves off the cherry tree in my backyard. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry they strip your cherry tree, they haven't done any noticeable damage yet to anything here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
