Adult Rain Beetles live a very short time and do not feed. There are some species that fly in near freezing weather. We have loads of information on Rain Beetles on our website and we would recommend using the search engine to locate this information and the links to outside sources.

The bugs are very attracted to light and are found at the front of the house and in the garage. They fly around but seem to die quickly (in days). We have up to 10+ at a time. From what I have read, the beetles are a Rain Beetle. I have read that the flying beetles are male and live 10-12 years, but with the amount of dead beetles that we have, 10-12 years seems a long time. Can anyone give me some more information on these beetles? Does the freezing cold kill them?
