Description
Melolonthidae's predominantly during their larval stage, as white grubs, that they feed on roots, causing damage primarily in their juvenile form. Adult beetles, emerging in late spring, are recognized by their nocturnal buzzing and attraction to lights, leading to their notorious presence around homes and street lamps.
