Rose chafer

Rose chafer

Macrodactylus subspinosus

A species of Rose chafers

The rose chafer (Macrodactylus subspinosus) is called this because of its tendency to eat rose leaves, which makes it not the best friend of gardeners. They are light-brown colored and covered in yellow hairs. These hairs are known to wear off with age, giving them something in common with balding humans.

Garden and Landscape Pest

Larvae of rose chafer can cause mild to severe damage to roots and stems of roses, lawn grasses, and vegetable crops, leading to yellowing and wilting of plants. At high populations, the landscape can be significantly disfigured, and reduction in crop yield and quality may occur, affecting human enjoyment and economic returns.

Agricultural Pests

The larvae of rose chafer pose a significant threat to various crops by chewing plant tissues. They can damage roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits, leading to reduced yields and potentially severe agricultural losses. While the impact is mild with fewer pests, a heavy infestation can devastate crops, hampering food supply and causing economic impact.
