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.
