Mr. Bugman,
I’m curious about the identity of this bug. Primarily, is it a threat to gardens? Thanks,
Pamela Thompson
Hi Pamela,
The Ten Lined June Beetle, Polyphylla species, feeds on the needles of coniferous trees at night, and the immature beetle grubs feed on the roots of a wide variety of plants. This beetle is never plentiful enough to be considered a threat to the garden, nor are they a threat to national security.
