Life span: Adults live for approximately
two months. Grubs usually take under
12 months to become adults.
Diet: Adults will eat apple or banana slices
and also seem to enjoy fresh grape leaves.
Grubs fare best on a diet of
medium-decayed hardwood.
Notes: Females tend to be a little larger than
males, and are usually a little lighter in color.
They will lay eggs in substrate that is almost
completely rotten wood. During pupation,
the larval skin is shed but left nearly intact to
form a loose outer covering.
Common Names:
Spotted pelidnota, spotted June beetle,
grapevine beetle.
