I live in southeastern Ontario and recently found a strange beetle flying in my home. I have never seen one like this before. Could you please help me to identify it?
Thanks,
W. Casey
Hi Casey,
This is a Grapevine Beetle, Pelidnota punctata. As its name implies, the adult eats the leaves and fruits of both wild and cultivated grapes while the larvae eat decaying wood in tree stumps. The adult has a rapid curving flight pattern.
