lined June beetles
6080 Hello. My son Griff found this fuzzy winged critter outside our barn this morning right below a birds nest. It’s been a late summer here in Aldergrove, BC. The heat just recently arrived and its July 2017. I did a bit of looking and I’m guessing a scarub beetle of some sort perhaps? Thanks! Shannon
This is one of the lined June beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in the genus Polyphylla, possibly the 10-lined June beetle, Polyphylla decemlineata. See https://tinyurl.com/y7cqxh3u for more detailed information. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
