Field Notes

Description:

Also known as the June Bug, these guys are out pretty late in the year, but we haven't had our cold snap so who knows. Rubiginosa is the most common and similar species I can find mapped in Kansas but it's hard to tell with Phyllophagates. The wife hates them because they fly everywhere and at her and it's freaks her out haha.

Habitat:

Found in North America.
