May Beetle
Phyllophaga smithi
Adult may beetles emerge from the soil and fly mostly at night in wooded areas, fields, and gardens. They feed on leaves and tender vegetation, often visiting trees and shrubs after dusk. Their hard wing covers protect the folded flight wings beneath, allowing them to burrow into soil or take to the air.
